Pandora Facts

Here is pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about Pandora.

Pandora statistics user count and Facts 2023Pandora Music, commonly known as Pandora, is a popular internet radio and music streaming service that was founded in 2000 by Tim Westergren, Jon Kraft, and Will Glaser. Headquartered in Oakland, California, Pandora was one of the pioneers in personalized online radio, offering a unique listening experience based on users’ music preferences.

The service initially gained recognition for its “Music Genome Project,” a sophisticated music recommendation algorithm that categorizes songs based on various attributes like melody, rhythm, lyrics, and instrumentation. This technology allowed Pandora to create personalized radio stations for users, playing music that matches their chosen artists, songs, or genres, as well as introducing them to new music based on their preferences.

Pandora offers both free and premium subscription options. With a premium subscription, users can enjoy an ad-free experience, offline listening, and more control over their music selections.

In 2019, Pandora was acquired by SiriusXM Holdings, a satellite radio company, forming a larger entity known as SiriusXM and Pandora. This acquisition expanded the reach of both services, offering a broader range of content to music enthusiasts.

While the music streaming landscape has evolved over the years, Pandora remains a well-known brand in the world of online music radio, appreciated for its personalized music discovery and tailored listening experience.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
