Music helped listeners in the UK get through the pandemic-enforced lockdowns, new research has suggested.
More than a quarter of those surveyed said they had increased their listening time compared to before the country shut down, according to a survey from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Only 11% of those asked said they listened to less or no music at all, the BPI said, and a jump in consumption was most pronounced in the 16-24 age group.
The BPI, the UK record labels association, said 45% of respondents in this age group listened to more music since the first national lockdown in March last year.
