You\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n<p>The global music industry surpassed 4 trillion streams in 2023, a new single-year record, Luminate\u2019s 2023 Year-End Report found.<\/p>\n<p>Global streams were also up 34% from last year, reflective of an increasingly international music marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>Stateside, three genres saw the biggest growth in 2023: country (23.7%), Latin (which encompasses all Latin musical genres, up 24.1%) and world (a catchall that includes J-pop, K-pop and Afrobeats, up 26.2%.)<\/p>\n<p>It seems that more Americans are listening to non-English music. By the end of 2023, Luminate found that Spanish-language music\u2019s share of the top 10,000 songs streamed in the U.S. grew 3.8%, and English-language music\u2019s share dropped 3.8%.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Latin umbrella, regional Mexican music saw massive growth. The genre term\u2014which encompasses mariachi, banda, corridos, norte\u00f1o, sierre\u00f1o and other styles\u2014grew 60% in U.S. on-demand audio streams, accounting for 21.9 billion. Four of the six Latin artists to break 1 billion audio streams in the U.S. were Mexican acts: Peso Pluma, Eslabon Armado, Junior H, and Fuerza Regida, who also placed in the top 125 artists streamed.<\/p>\n<p>Armado and Peso Pluma\u2019s \u201cElla Baila Sola\u201d surpassed a billion streams on Spotify in less than a year and became the first regional Mexican Top 10 hit on Billboard\u2019s all-genre Hot 100, peaking at No. 4\u2014later, Bad Bunny\u2019s collaboration with Grupo Frontera, \u201cUn x100to,\u201d hit No. 5.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Taylor Swift of it all: Time\u2019s 2023 Person of the Year made up 1.79% of the U.S. market, Luminate found, accounting for 1 in every 78 U.S. on-demand audio streams.<\/p>\n<p>Her dominance is reflected in Luminate\u2019s 2023 top albums chart, where Swift accounts for five of the top 10 albums in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to overall music consumption in the U.S.\u2014even with the success of Swift and the massive successes of country music and non-English language programming\u2014hip-hop continues to rule, accounting for 25.5% of all streams.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it had something to do with hip-hop celebrating its 50-year anniversary in 2023, because streams for current R&amp;B and hip-hop acts dropped 7.1% from 2022, while catalog streams\u2014older material\u2014grew 11.3%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES (AP)\u2014Listened to more music last year?
