The last two decades have witnessed an increasing scholarly interest on music consumption. This interest can be explained, at least partly, to the relevance of music as a form of cultural consumption and the profound changes the sector has undergone. This paper performs a bibliometric analysis of the literature on music consumption research. In doing so, a database comprising 455 academic documents on the fields of business, economics, and management, was reviewed following a systematic procedure. Through it we identify the intellectual roots and the methodological evolution of the field. Furthermore, text mining was applied to analyse the themes included in the research agenda and their evolution. As a result, potential topics, approaches, and methods for future music consumption research are proposed.

This article empirically investigates the impact of religiosity on cultural consumption. To this end we extend the standard model of cultural participation by hypothesizing that religious beliefs and religiosity shape preferences. In so doing, we identify two latent traits through which religiosity affects cultural consumption. First, a general religiosity factor which stands out for the functional aspects of religion, through which individuals build and enhance social relations and the belonging to a specific group. Second, an attribute linked to the intensity of beliefs and which manifests itself on an individual's degree of attachment to religion. Using U.S. data, the estimation of a simultaneous equations model shows that while the former increases the likelihood of participation in highbrow cultural manifestations, the latter decreases it. Additionally, we find evidence of religiosity marginally affecting popular forms of cultural consumption.
