Edison Research — Q2 2025 daily music listening
Share of Ear uses 24-hour listening diaries recorded in 15-minute intervals. Edison reports an average of 2 hours 50 minutes of music per day among Americans age 13+, but its public pages do not provide a listening-time distribution or quantiles. No interpolation is used.
What this calculator measures
See how your daily music listening time compares with a relevant reference population. The comparison uses the reference population and evidence identified on this page.
How to interpret your result
A percentile describes the approximate percentage of the stated reference population with a lower value. When a source supports only categories, medians, or averages, Humanlytic shows that broader comparison instead of inventing an exact percentile.
How this works
Evidence quality
Limited-data benchmark
Method
Humanlytic converts the entered listening time to minutes and compares it with Edison Research’s Q2 2025 average of 170 minutes per day among Americans age 13 and older. Edison’s public pages do not publish a listening-time distribution, so no percentile is calculated.

Limitations
The public Edison material reports an average of 2 hours 50 minutes of music listening per day, but no percentile, quantile, or cumulative listening-time distribution. Humanlytic compares an entry with that average and does not reverse-engineer a percentile curve.
