13 million of Soundloud’s 25 million creators don’t get played even once a month.

“On SoundCloud we have content from over 25 million creators who are reaching audiences around the world,” SoundCloud’s Kerry Trainor told a Midem forum. “Over 12 million of those creators get heard every month, which is in some ways to me the more powerful stat.”

But as [Stuart Dredge of Music Ally](https://musically.com/2020/06/03/12m-soundcloud-creators-get-heard-every-month-but-13m-dont/?ref=hypebot.com) points out that means 13 million creators – 52% of SoundCloud’s total – are not played at all.

All signs still point to more DIY Music growth.

“We’re watching markets that a few years ago had really very few independently distributed artists and everything was through the traditional system, growing at double and triple-digit growth, which is fantastic to see,” said Trainor.
