Last.fm claims to have become the fastest growing online music network in the US, with a unique listener increase of 92 per cent since launching four weeks ago. The social networking music site said that it has more than 21 million active users worldwide every month.
Martin Stiksel, co-founder of the site, said: "We have created a new model that works for everyone - listeners, artists and copyright holders - and the user response proves that it is working. "Free is the future, and this is signalled not only by the industry's growing acceptance of what we're doing, but more importantly by the incredibly fast increase of users accessing music on Last.fm since we launched free-on-demand."

Should I be scared that you listen to that much Kelly Clarkson?
Been there, done that.

So? Do you always judge people from what music they listen to?
Why? What do you think you can judge people who do so?
Everyday. Deal with it.
You should stop trolling around trying to start arguments with other members and twisiting their words around.
Judging people by the music they listen to is pretty pathetic in my honest opinion. That's all I have to say about that because I'm not going to waste my time arguing over the internet like others here love to do.

And no I don't care that I did it because everyone does it all the time, and I've come to peace with this fact.
Someone should seriously read what they copy and paste before publishing it on the front page.
I've had it in my favs for next to forever.

Linking to a different article on false statement, isn't really a good reference.
And you got to love the subheadline on that site

Since the beginning
I don't use Last.FM's streaming service (or even their client, just the plugins) but I still find it to be a very good and informative service (and a good way to learn about new bands). Long may it continue
