Music fans spend 379 hours annually listening in alone \u2013 representing two thirds of their total listening time. A poll of 2,000 adults who regularly listen to music found the experience has become something they increasingly do alone, with 11% admitting they never listen to music with other people.<\/p>\n

Most people listen to songs through their headphones or while in the car rather than as part of a shared experience \u2013 in fact, only 8% of all music listening happens at live events. Those who attend live music events discover four times as many new artists as those who never go.<\/p>\n
