COVID-19’s Effect on the Global Music Business, Part 1: Genre
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.
