What’s Everyone Listening To in 2025?

If you think everyone is only streaming playlists all day, think again. The latest numbers show we’re still mixing it up:

• Radio is still king for a lot of drivers (especially 35+),

• Podcasts are stealing the hearts of Gen Z and millennials,

• Streaming music is growing, but it’s slowing down a bit,

• And surprise—audiobooks are having a moment.

  
  

Music genres are shifting too. There’s been a big boost in Christian/gospel streams, plus something called “recession pop” is blowing up—basically nostalgic hits with a feel-good twist.

So why should you care? Because the way you listen changes what kind of audio setup will make you happiest. Into podcasts? You’ll want crystal-clear mids and highs. Music junkie? Let’s talk deep, tight bass and immersive surround.

And whatever you’re into, we’ll help you make sure it sounds exactly the way you want it. Come by our location in Yuba City off Highway 99 today.
