Abstract or Description

This submission of evidence responds to question 18 raised by the Competition and Markets Authority (2021: 37) in their ‘State of Scope’ document:
“How do consumers use music streaming services and to what extent is their usage influenced by playlists or recommendations?”
In responding to this question, we draw upon data collected in a study undertaken in 2020 and recently accepted for publication in a forthcoming issue of the journal Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural Research. This study aimed to assess the nature of the relationship between music consumers and playlists on streaming services. In particular, the study examined the capacity for algorithmic playlists to engender feelings of attachment between consumers and the musicians and songs they discover via this medium. The findings of the work will be shared below, and the findings reconceptualised and discussed in the context of the CMA’s remit.
