Various surveys and studies have been conducted to estimate the average time people spend listening to music. One study by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) found that in the United States, on average, people listened to music for about 18 hours per week in 2020. That would be around 2.5 hours a day.
Other surveys and studies have reported different average listening times, but they generally suggest that people listen to music for several hours each day.
It's worth noting that these figures are averages, and individual listening habits can deviate significantly. For example, some people may listen to music non-stop throughout the day, while others may only listen during certain times or activities, like during their commute or while exercising.
