The use of online radio and music streaming services in Belgium fluctuated over the years, as the penetration rate changed between 2012 and 2019. In 2019, the share of the Belgian population who had listed to online music at least once in the past three months reached nearly 50 percent. This was the highest value reported over the years, but figures seem different from year to year. Between 2017 and 2018, for example, the penetration rate declined.
