We analyzed Spotify Monthly Listeners trends across nine genres to help you understand how music consumption may or may not be changing during these unprecedented times. Here's what we found:
Spotify listenership appears to be widening for Classical, Ambient, and Children’s due to COVID-19.
Spotify listenership is relatively unaffected for Pop, Country, and Dance during COVID-19, but Country seems to be demonstrating the greatest resiliency.
Spotify listenership appears to be narrowing for Latin, Rap, and Rock during COVID-19, but potentially due to other factors and not necessarily a result of the global pandemic.
The future remains uncertain for everyone, so we’ll do our best to use the power of data and market-level analysis to bring continued clarity and nuance to the conversation.
