U.S. Music Industry Year-End Review1
Music is everywhere. Anybody that doubts the impact of music in popular culture needs
to look no further than a review of 2013. Beyonc bookended the year - first with herperformance during the half-time show at the Super Bowl (joined by her former Destinys
Child bandmates) and closing the year with her surprise audio/video release, which has
already become one of the ten best selling digital albums of all time with over a million
digital albums sold in just three weeks. In between, music fans were treated to a year of
creative release events by such artists as Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga and Daft
Punk. In addition to the great awards shows and celebrations, such as the Billboard Music
Awards and the Grammy Awards, we were also brought the first YouTube Music Awards,
celebrating the consumers favorite video streams of the year this amid continued
growth in all forms of music streaming.
With year-over-year growth of 32% in streaming consumption (to over 118 billion streams)
and with Nielsen consumer research showing that 68% of U.S. consumers reportingstreaming music in the past year, we are seeing a surge in music consumption. As is
always the case with the music industry, technology is an ever-changing driver of how
music is consumed, and todays consumer has more access to music than ever before -
from their connected devices to the all-access models that digital presents.
What you will see in this report is a snapshot of the year in music - everything from sales
and consumption, to consumer research, to trends in the industry and a recap of the
biggest events of the year. The music industry and the music consumer are changing and
at Nielsen we are constantly analyzing these changes. So lets take a look back at 2013 - all
the while with anticipation for what surprises 2014 has in store for us.
