Posted 4 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 14 minutes ago

CunninLynguists have reached 2,064,454 plays scrobbled on Last.fm from 55,439 listeners. Thats an average of over 37 plays per listener.

As a testament to the quality of music QN5 makes, compare the “listens to listeners” ratio of other artists:

Talib Kweli
(3,128,787 plays & 148,145 listeners = 21 plays per listener)
Dilated Peoples
(1,273,771 plays & 99,573 listeners = 12 plays per listener)
Common
(4,748,340 & 199,696 listeners = 23 plays per listener)

The Roots
(5,709,762 & 264,404 listeners = 21 plays per listener)
Masta Ace
(929,334 plays & 52,304 listeners = 17 plays per listener)
Madlib
(1,645,424 plays & 71,590 listeners = 23 plays per listener)

Lupe Fiasco
(3,849,876 plays & 119,978 listeners = 32 plays per listener)
Kanye West
(17,700,366 plays & 510,693 listeners = 35 plays per listener)
Brother Ali
(888,124 plays & 35,453 listeners = 25 plays per listener)

As you can see, the number of people that are aware of CL might be lower than some of the above artists, but the people who know about CL, simply put, LOVE the MUSIC and listen to it repeatedly. Only wildly successful and heavily promoted artists such as Kanye and Lupe have similar “listens per user” ratios.

Just goes to show that simply getting people to listen is 95% of the journey. Once they hear it, they enjoy it and wonder why they never listened before. This bodes wonderfully for reaching more and more people and expanding the fanbase through word-of-mouth.
