With its star-studded concerts, popular awards show and gigantic social media presence, iHeartRadio has quickly transformed itself from “just another radio app” to a “must-have” internet radio platform. Through creative and significant marketing, iHeartRadio has been very successful in positioning themselves as a leader in a very crowded market.
I recently sat down to see what I could find for iHeartRadio statistics and what I found were some pretty impressive tallies. Below is what I was able to dig up. As always, I will be adding to and updating this post semi-regularly, so be sure to check back in a month or so for new numbers.
Here are all the iHeartRadio statistics I have been able to dig up over the years; 22 of them including stats on:
- Users
- Radio
- Activity
- Revenue
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.

or get it in one of my report bundles:
Bundle 1: Music Streaming reports (Spotify, iHeartRadio and Pandora).
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Many of these iHeartRadio facts come from the company’s own financial filings, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
