I agree completely with your sentiment, but it's important to note that US music consumption makes up, I believe, more than half of the worldwide market. So, in fact, the US is a larger market than all of Europe. That being said, 50 million registered users by some gorilla math, maybe. Real, active engaged, users - no way.
- rdl 15y agoYeah, I'm assuming the crazy math (5-10mm real users, the remainder being alternate accounts, abandonware, etc.) Plus, multiple devices per user, which you could be really crazy and count as unique users -- laptop, home, work, ht/game system, iphone, ipad each. Plus, USA = "everywhere"; I'd assume if there were service in Europe and the USA, a lot of people in non-USA non-Europe would be VPNed or otherwise appear as US users for these purposes.
- earbitscom 15y agoI more meant anyone on Facebook who listens to a track streamed from Spotify while on Facebook and not having even been to Spotify's site or having downloaded any client, could be called a "user". 50 million people finally seeing real music integration on Facebook listening to a track or two doesn't seem unrealistic, but if that's what they call a user, they're being very generous to themselves.
