Despite being hit by competitors from all sides, Pandora continues gain users at a steady rate.
The music streaming service announced today that it hit a major milestone by racking up 200 million registered users. It took the company six years to get 100 million users, but less than two years to double that number to 200 million.
"When we launched http://www.pandora.com in 2005, we hoped to create a new way to discover and enjoy music that was completely personalized for each and every listener," Pandora founder Tim Westergren wrote in a blog post today. "We envisioned a time when artists of all kinds would thrive on radio, connecting with fans who loved exactly their kind of music."
Not only has Pandora gained a massive audience, but its users are also streaming songs at a breakneck rate (see infographic below). In March, people streamed nearly 1.5 billion hours of music and played more than 100,000 unique artists and 1 million unique songs.
