Country Music topped the growth in streaming music in the U.S. in 2023.

Globally, music streams reached 4 trillion – yes, that’s TRILLION – last year, according to Luminate’s year-end report. That’s a 34% increase over the previous year, largely due to a growing international streaming audience.

Here at home in the U.S., the fastest-growing streaming categories after country were Latin and world music.
