This year’s report serves as your essential guide to the 2025 music landscape so far. We’re deep-diving into global streaming trends, the remarkable rise of R&B, Hard Rock and Christian music and how audience behavior is redefining fan engagement across digital entertainment platforms.
Fueled by in-depth analyses of Luminate’s streaming, sales and consumer research data, this report allows us to stay consistent with Luminate’s mission to serve as the most trusted partner for entertainment data. These findings are meant to be helpful for business planning across not just the music industry’s needs but for all industries that are concerned with music — from financial investment to tech product development, from brand partnerships to gaming activations, and beyond.
