  Sony Music Entertainment (SME) achieved double-digit overall growth during 2024's final three months. But amid industry-wide concerns of a streaming plateau, revenue from on-demand listening turned in a comparatively modest improvement.


Sony Music Entertainment reported a significant double-digit increase in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024, despite only modest growth in streaming numbers.

This performance reflects Sony Music's strategic efforts to diversify its income streams beyond traditional digital platforms, capitalizing on the growing demand for vinyl records and exclusive artist merchandise, as well as expanding its global licensing agreements.
