The brakes have been slammed on audio streaming’s growth in the UK. Is the US next?

According to new figures confirmed by the UK’s official recorded music trade org, the BPI, the British market saw 147.2 billion total on-demand audio streams in 2021. That was up by 7.9 billion – or 5.7% – on 2020’s total haul (139.3 billion). This might sound like a lot… but when you compare it to the trends of previous years, it’s really not.
