iHeartRadio Surpasses 60 Million Registered Users Continuing to Demonstrate Accelerated Growth, Engagement and Strong Brand Awareness
iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia's all-in-one digital music and live streaming
radio service, today announced that it has surpassed 60 million
registered users, continuing to grow faster than any other radio or
digital music service - even faster than Facebook (News - Alert) - and also reaching
nearly 90 million unique visitors across its iHeartRadio Network. Plus,
the service's registered users do not account for the millions of users
who listen to iHeartRadio's live radio functionality without
registering, indicating that the app's total reach is even greater.
These user milestones position iHeartRadio as the industry's top
streaming radio app, one of the most used music apps and one of the top
free downloads in app stores across all categories.
In addition, iHeartRadio's brand awareness reached 75 percent in
December, up 5 percent from last year and an impressive milestone in
just three years. iHeartRadio also has more than 500 million downloads
of the app and nearly 80 million social media followers across the
iHeartRadio Network.
"iHeartRadio's rapid expansion continues to push the boundaries of the
digital radio listening experience," said Darren Davis, President of
iHeartRadio and iHeartMedia Networks. "Our growth is a testament to the
success of our continued innovation, our hard work in anticipating the
needs of the connected consumer and our goal to provide listeners with
the content they love anytime and anywhere, with the personalized and
curated experience they crave acros all their devices."
iHeartRadio's growth comes on the heels of its expanded availability
across more
than a dozen additional devices, announced at the 2015 Consumer
Electronics Show, including first time integrations with Sony, LG and
others spanning auto, in-home entertainment and gaming.
