64 Billion Plays: What Online Music Looks Like Today (Infographic)

In 2011, we collectively listened to 64,876,491,602 songs on the Internet.
Whether it was on YouTube, SoundCloud, Rdio or MySpace, the citizens of the
Web listened to quite a lot of music last year. Bands and musicians made
over 3 billion new fans, who viewed artist profiles over 16 billion times.
These are just a few data points recently released by Next Big Sound, a
startup that tracks the popularity of music and individual artists across a
range of digital music providers and social services.

Digital music only continues to grow and mature, as streaming services
explode, Internet radio companies go public and developers begin using the
power of open APIs to mash up sounds and services. SoundCloud alone saw 231%
growth last year, while Twitter saw a 104% increase in music-related
activity.
