Deezer Survey: 15% of UK Listeners Under 25 Have Never Listened to A Traditional Album
Streaming services have sparked massive shifts in how people discover and consume music. One of the notable changes has been a move away from listening to full-length albums and toward singles and curated playlists. A survey of UK listeners by Deezer confirmed that trend.
The survey results found that 49% of respondents are listening to fewer full albums than they did a year ago. Other metrics supported that, with the average album listening in the UK landing at 17 minutes a day, compared with a global average of 26 minutes.
