Music album listening habits worldwide 2020
According to a global study conducted in January 2020, just nine percent of surveyed adults in selected countries around the world preferred listening to albums, with 40 percent expressing a preference for playlists instead. Only 36 percent of adults listened to albums in chronological order, which means that many listeners fail to appreciate the full experience of listening to an album carefully constructed by the artist to create meaning, tell a story, or convey a certain style.
