results of 2015 reported a total revenue of $311.6 million. \u00a0This total was a 30% increase from the results of last year&#8217;s Q3 mark. \u00a0Advertising revenue also rose 31% to a total of $254.7 million <a href=\"http:\/\/investor.pandora.com\/phoenix.zhtml?c=227956&amp;p=irol-newsArticle&amp;ID=2100421\" target=\"_blank\">[9]<\/a>. \u00a0 Pandora executives relate this growth to the company&#8217;s recent $450 million dollar acquisition of Ticketfly, which makes Pandora a location to now discover and purchase tickets for upcoming live shows, attracting many new users who are avid concert goers <a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2015\/digital\/news\/pandora-buys-ticketfly-to-sell-concert-tickets-to-its-listeners-1201612428\/\" target=\"_blank\">[10]<\/a>. \u00a0Unfortunately, competition in the music streaming business has been a major concern for Pandora. \u00a0On October 23, Pandora had the company&#8217;s worst share drop off, falling 35 percent in one day primarily due to the rise of Apple Music and Spotify. \u00a0Apple Music recently reported it had 6.5 million paying subscribers, compared to only 3 million Pandora One subscribers who pay a monthly fee <a

greatly over the next two January calls, signifying that their stock should move back up in the future. \u00a0Analysts also expect a major investor to acquire Pandora by 2017 due to the

style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Pandora Radio has made great efforts this year to create a close relationship with their audience. \u00a0On September 9th, Pandora celebrated their 10 year anniversary by providing ad free streaming to anyone who visited their site. \u00a0This thanked fans for the support they had given to Pandora and also allowed people to see what being a paid subscriber entailed <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2015\/09\/01\/pandora-to-treat-us-users-to-a-day-of-ad-free-listening-to-celebrate-its-10-year-anniversary\/#.dkxieca:ysHp\" target=\"_blank\">[14]<\/a>. \u00a0Pandora also stayed committed to their goal of bringing artists and fans closer together. \u00a0On November 11th, Pandora and country music star, Tim McGraw, joined together to create a listening party for McGraw&#8217;s new album,\u00a0<em>Damn Country Music.<\/em>\u00a0 The event took place in New York City and included a live performance from the country singer that was free of charge for fans <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/columns\/country\/6745122\/tim-mcgraw-damn-country-music-pandora-mixtape-concert\">[15]<\/a>. \u00a0To celebrate the holiday season, Pandora is hosting a concert event in New York City on December 10th. \u00a0The show, which will also be available to be streamed at home, will feature acclaimed artists Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, and G-Eazy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20151110005630\/en\/Pandora-Holiday-Exclusive-NYC-Concert-Livestream-Featuring\" target=\"_blank\">[17]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Competition<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Digital streaming is the most popular way people are accessing music today. \u00a0Although Pandora was created much earlier, streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal have impacted the market greatly by forming on-demand listening. \u00a0In response, Pandora payed $75 million dollars to acquire assets from the music streaming service, Rdio, which recently fell into bankruptcy. \u00a0This will eventually make Pandora an on-demand streaming site, which will possibly attract people to leave other sites and use Pandora <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/bobbyowsinski\/2015\/11\/18\/the-pros-and-cons-of-pandoras-rdio-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\">[18]<\/a>. \u00a0Pandora also recently took a major step ahead of competitors by having Adele&#8217;s critically acclaimed album,\u00a0<em>25,\u00a0<\/em>on their site. \u00a0Since Pandora does not hold deals with major record labels and does not give their users access to chose the exact song they want, they are able to have the tracks available. \u00a0Apple Music, Spotify, and others are restricted from having the number one album, because Adele&#8217;s record label chose to forgo streaming sales and focus primarily on selling physical copies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2015\/11\/25\/9800508\/25-streaming-pandora-radio-service-licensing\" target=\"_blank\">[19]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>The Future of Pandora<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0With the recent acquisition of Rdio, Pandora is preparing for a significant business change. \u00a0Unlike their competitor Spotify who offers free streaming, Pandora plans to ally with artists and labels and only offer paid on demand subscription. \u00a0This will put Pandora at a large disadvantage compared to Spotify, but the company believes that their main goal is to respect the art of music and the ones who spend handwork creating it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2015\/12\/1\/9827848\/pandora-no-more-free-tier-spotify-streaming-music\" target=\"_blank\">[20]<\/a>. \u00a0Clear evidence that Pandora wants to honor artists is seen in their recent multi-year deal with Sony\/ATV Music Publishing. \u00a0Pandora agreed to increase their royalty payments with the largest music publishing company, which will now open new opportunities for\u00a0Pandora. \u00a0They now have the ability to expand to a international market with the music rights they have acquired, which could be a major business move since Pandora is currently only available in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/business\/6762423\/the-pandora-sonyatv-deal-what-it-means-who-wins\" target=\"_blank\">[21]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Pandora also expanded their massive music library with many popular pre-1972 recordings of music. \u00a0The company reached a $90 million settlement to avoid any copyright allegations, setting the precedent to other streaming companies to respect the artists. \u00a0This addition of music attracts an older audience range to Pandora and will hopefully encourage record labels to be reasonable with establishing deals once Pandora begins their on demand service <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/business\/6738203\/pandora-settlement-record-labels-pre-1972-music-riaa\"
