> No way in hell do 15% music listeners own record players.

That's also a weird statement in general, sure there might be a group of people who actively avoid music, but aren't most of us music listeners. Perhaps there's some special meaning to "music listeners" as a term.

At most 95% of the world population listens to music (the rest are hard of hearing)

Some of those remaining 5% do like the vibrations, but I'm not sure that counts as listing.

Definitely seems nebulous, but I would consider myself not a music listener. Outside of it being paired with a movie/game/video/etc, I practically never listen to music just to listen to music.
