People spending more time than before listening to music

The average time spent listening to music globally has risen in the past year, according to a report.

Listeners spent 20.1 hours a week playing their favourite music, up from 18.4 hours in 2021, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) said. This is equivalent to listening to an extra 34 three-minute songs weekly.

In 2019, the report indicated people were listening to 18 hours of music a week on average. It was not carried out in 2020 due to the pandemic.
