The top 6 digital audio platforms among US teens and adults

For more insights and key statistics on the biggest trends in today's most disruptive industries, subscribe to our Chart of the Day newsletter.

Spotify is the No. 1 digital audio service among US teens and adults, with 35% digital audio listeners ages 12 and older using that platform the most. YouTube Music comes in at No. 2, with 18%, while Pandora rounds out the top three at 15%.

Beyond the chart: Spotify is by far the top dog and has increased its lead in the market. Over at Google, growth is coming after consolidation.
