To show what at first seems paradoxical, they quote an increase of 119% of album sales generated on the Amazon site which is their partner. Additionally, according to their studies, people using their site buy 66% more music than previously.
Nowadays when one passes more and more from time in front of the computer, to the detriment of television and radio, these sites could become the equivalent of the variety programmes and could be used to promote artists. It is all the more true for Last.fm which seeks the position of a Community site based on music, the 'Community' word having become the 'open sesame' at the moment when trying to make a fortune on the Web.
