This news item is part of the weekly top 5 news bulletin (from Week 5, Nov 2023) specially packaged for leaders of Nonprofits, Churches, and Faith-based Social Ventures.

TikTok has released a new report called Music Impact Report. If you are in music ministry, or if you are a nonprofit that focuses on the music space, then this is something you might want to pay attention to. Because it has a lot of interesting user behavioral trends and patterns. This report was put together by an organization commissioned by TikTok, called Luminate. So it has a lot of information about how TikTok is good for music discovery. But leaving those aside, if you just focus on the user behaviors and pattern, then you will glean a lot of insights from this report. For example, it says how people are willing to spend across music related categories. And also it talks about how people are engaged with musicians, how they want to have global music access and so on. We will link to the report in the show notes. Have a look.
