Pandora has released some statistics from 2012. First up, 1.6 billion personalized radio stations were created and translates in to over 13 billion hours of music, users listening to over one million different songs from more than 100,000 artists. Finally about 10,000 artists reached about 250,000 unique listeners.

These are not bad statistics but I wonder how much an impact services like Google Music will have on Pandora. It’s possible that people who use Google Music or a similar streaming service are different to those that use Pandora. Or is there potential for a service like Pandora to branch out and offer to stream your own music library as well?
