Think we might be overstating Americaness of Last.fm here – all the business press about the CBS buy-out was about how the US was the territory yet to be conquered. A very quick look at those figures suggests that the highest per capita use is in the UK, not that surprising since it comes from here originally.

Interesting then because if there was an increase in US college kids using this (which there probably will be) the stats probably won't change that much at all.

Yes, individuality is global now.

I did a quick'n'dirty 'last.fm users as percentage of the population' thing and, yeah, the US is approx 0.126% and the UK 0.202% (and both ca and au are 0.145%), but there are still more US users than users from any other country.
