AOL Music still biggest Music Site in the world ahead of Myspace
Submitted by Walt on Saturday, 16 May 2009View Comments
As of May 14, 2009 AOL Music is still the biggest Music website. in the world with over 27 million listeners. Meanwhile MySpace is in a close second.
This raises an interesting point – is Myspace dead? Hardly.
I used to think MySpace was done for, and that Reverbnation and Facebook were taking over the industry. But now I have a change of heart. The fact is, MySpace isn’t going away any time soon, and Facebook is now on the downslope, at least to me. I’m sick of Facebook, and I hate their new Terms of Use and new redesign.
- Here’s the listing as it stands according to Digital Music News:
- AOL Music (28,634,778)
- MySpace Music (27,423,200)
- Yahoo Music (20,578,092)
- MTV Networks Music (18,543,442)
- ArtistDirect Network (12,193,996)
- MSN Music (7,352,016)
- Jango Music Network (6,921,809)
- Universal Music Group (6,240,440)
- Imeem (6,162,165)
- Project Playlist (6,043,186)
- Rhapsody (6,014,385)
- Sony Music Entertainment (3,900,618)
- Lyricsmode.com (3,804,775)
- Last.fm (3,740,479)
- WindowsMedia.com Music (3,054,952)
Very interesting.
Very interesting indeed. Pretty much every band I know — from garage bands to platinum selling artists — has a MySpace page. If an artist doesn’t have a website (and sometimes even if they do), they just direct you to their MySpace page.
However, most interesting to me is Last.fm. In tech industry world, everyone knows/uses Last.fm. Yet according to these stats, it has barely hit main stream.
Where did you find these stats?
