**[Sirius XM Radio](http://www.sirius.com/?ref=hypebot.com)** has now broken the **19.5 million** **subscribers** mark. This makes sense. Well, sort of; it would make sense to my father. He and I recently got back from a **3,000 mile road trip**, spending near entire days in the car, and since he can only tolerate so much of my music, we listened to **lots of radio**. After awhile, losing stations every **30 minutes** can get frustrating, let alone the stretches where no reception, from any station was available. It got to the point where he remarked, that he now understood **why people buy satellite radio**.

In addition, Sirius [announced](http://www.marketwatch.com/story/sirius-xm-adds-over-583000-net-subscribers-in-the-second-quarter-2010-07-07?siteid=nbsh&ref=hypebot.com) that they expect to finish 2010 with **1.1 million** net subscriber adds. In the first half of this year, they added **755,000** net subscribers compared to a net loss of **590,000** net subscribers in the first half of 2009\. Like I said, this would make sense to him, but perhaps, **not to me**.
