«Music recommendation website Last.fm has seen its user numbers rise by 59% after introducing a free streaming service, the CBS-owned web company claimed today. Last.fm said its new on-demand music service has been a major driver of traffic growth in the US where the site is not as well known as in Europe. The free Last.fm service was launched last month through deals with the four major music labels - Universal, Sony BMG, EMI and Warner Music Group. Last.fm now has 21 million unique users each month, based on its internal traffic figures for the last four weeks, and has seen the number of people listening to music on the site increase by 92% in one month. The site does not sell music directly, but links to services including 7digital and Amazon that allow users to buy downloads.»
