🎡 Streaming Dominates Music Industry Revenue

The #music industry is generating the lion share of its revenue from streaming. A recent Recording Industry Association of America report found that three quarters of all revenue in the industry comes from streaming services like #Spotify. Last year RIAA reported that only 65 percent of revenue came from streaming, pointing to how prevalent and essential streaming has become to making money in music.

Overall revenue from streaming music grew by 30 percent year-over-year, hitting a total of $7.4 billion for 2018. While the growth seems to be ramping up, the industry is rebounding from a low. This year is the first time the industry is even nearing what its total revenue was over a decade ago. The major reasons for the slump in recent years has been the digitization of music circulated on the internet.

As it prepares for its long-awaited IPO, #Lyft has been slowly yet surely pulling alongside rival #Uber in the United States when it comes to the number of new users both services are adding each month.

According to Sensor Tower, which count first-time downloads of apps by unique App Store and Google Play users, Lyft added close to 1.5 million new riders in the U.S. last month, compared to Uber’s 1.9 million, giving the soon-to-be-public company a 43 percent share of those acquired between the two. This is a significant turnaround from April 2015, when Uber accounted for 82 percent of new U.S. riders added by the two services that month.

πŸ“‰ Brand Reputations That Took a Hit in 2019

#Facebook certainly had a tough year and it shows in the recent Axios and Harris Poll report: The 100 Most Visible Companies. The company had the largest dip in the report’s ranking, plummeting 43 places between 2018 and 2019. Barely in the top 100 brands, the social network fell to the bottom of the pack. Facebook has had to answer to legislators around the world this year about how it shares users’ data with third parties, the role it plays in spreading disinformation, and the vulnerabilities it has to hacks.

πŸ›΄ Americans drift from Uber and Lyft, test alternative forms of transportation

Americans are exploring alternative methods of transportation. Looking at average daily active users (DAUs) per month over the past 13 months, we’re estimating decreases in active usage for #Uber and #Lyft, while seeing increases in active usage for things like public transportation, bikes and scooters.

The above data is for the United States and is a combination of iOS + Google Play apps. Lyft has said its market share in the United States was at about 35% in early 2018, and is now closing in at around 40%. Lyft is losing less average DAUs than Uber, which has in fact grown its percentage of market share in the United States.
