The Prom Night suite captures songs from
the big dance for the classes of 1995 through 2022
OAKLAND,
Calif., May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Pandora unveiled Prom Night, its largest suite of
stations to date, all in celebration of the 2022 prom season. From
TLC's "Waterfalls" to Harry Styles'
"As It Was," Pandora's twenty-eight new stations capture songs from
the big dance for the classes of 1995 through 2022.
A time capsule of the hottest hits gracing high school dance
floors across the nation, Pandora's Prom Night brings the top
tracks of 1995-2022 to all tiers of its streaming service,
including its free tier. Each year's station is carefully curated
on various yearly charts including Pandora's year-end lists and
multiple external lists covering all genres.
The suite of stations journey through twenty-eight years of
graduating classes, kicking off with the class of 1995 and
Montell Jordan saying "This Is How
We Do It" on Prom Night: 1995. *NSYNC and Destiny's Child rule the
turn of the century on Prom Night: 2000, and Katy Perry and Usher are crowned prom queen and
prom king on Prom Night: 2010. The class of 2021 gets their
"drivers license" from Olivia
Rodrigo on Prom Night: 2021, before this year's graduating
seniors ride "First Class" with Jack
Harlow on Prom Night: 2022.
"No matter how long ago you went to your prom, all it takes to
bring you right back to that special moment is a song," said
Kevin Stapleford, VP of content and
programming at Pandora. "Each of these stations was carefully
researched by our curators who unearthed the biggest songs of prom
season for every year since 1995 to create the ultimate throwback
prom celebration for each class. Our suite of prom stations -- the
largest number of new stations we've launched in a single day --
will make you feel like you're right back at the big dance."
Pandora's Prom Night suite celebrates the nostalgic memories of
high school from the first day of first year until the last exam
rings pomp and circumstance bells. A walk down memory lane for
graduating classes of today and the past, all twenty-eight stations
commemorate seniors' one last dance.

subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to
predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the
timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated
in these forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual
results and the timing of events to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the
forward-looking statements: the current coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic is adversely impacting our business; our
substantial competition that is likely to increase over time; our
efforts to attract and retain subscribers and listeners, or convert
listeners into subscribers, which may not be successful, and may
adversely affect our business; our Pandora ad-supported business
has suffered a loss of monthly active users, which may adversely
affect our Pandora business; privacy and data security laws and
regulations may hinder our ability to market our services, sell
advertising and impose legal liabilities; we engage in extensive
marketing efforts and the continued effectiveness of those efforts
are an important part of our business; consumer protection laws and
our failure to comply with them could damage our business; a
substantial number of our Sirius XM subscribers periodically cancel
their subscriptions and we cannot predict how successful we will be
at retaining customers; our ability to profitably attract and
retain subscribers to our Sirius XM service as our marketing
efforts reach more price-sensitive consumers is uncertain; our
failure to convince advertisers of the benefits of our Pandora
ad-supported service could harm our business; if we are unable to
maintain revenue growth from our advertising products, particularly
in mobile advertising, our results of operations will be adversely
affected; if we fail to accurately predict and play music, comedy
or other content that our Pandora listeners enjoy, we may fail to
retain existing and attract new listeners; if we fail to protect
the security of personal information about our customers, we could
be subject to costly government enforcement actions and private
litigation and our reputation could suffer; interruption or failure
of our information technology and communications systems could
impair the delivery of our service and harm our business; we rely
on third parties for the operation of our business, and the failure
of third parties to perform could adversely affect our business;
our business depends in part upon the auto industry; our Pandora
business depends in part upon consumer electronics manufacturers;
the market for music rights is changing and is subject to
significant uncertainties; our ability to offer interactive
features in our Pandora services depends upon maintaining licenses
with copyright owners; the rates we must pay for "mechanical
rights" to use musical works on our Pandora service have increased
substantially and these new rates may adversely affect our
business; failure of our satellites would significantly damage our
business; our Sirius XM service may experience harmful interference
from wireless operations; failure to comply with FCC requirements
could damage our business; economic conditions, including
advertising budgets and discretionary spending, may adversely
affect our business and operating results; if we are unable to
attract and retain qualified personnel, our business could be
harmed; we may not realize the benefits of acquisitions or other
strategic investments and initiatives, including the acquisition of
Pandora; our use of pre-1972 sound recordings on our Pandora
service could result in additional costs; we may from time to time
modify our business plan, and these changes could adversely affect
us and our financial condition; we have a significant amount of
indebtedness, and our debt contains certain covenants that restrict
our operations; our facilities could be damaged by natural
catastrophes or terrorist activities; the unfavorable outcome of
pending or future litigation could have an adverse impact on our
operations and financial condition; failure to protect our
intellectual property or actions by third parties to enforce their
intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business
and operating results; some of our services and technologies may
use "open source" software, which may restrict how we use or
distribute our services or require that we release the source code
subject to those licenses; rapid technological and industry changes
and new entrants could adversely impact our services; existing or
future laws and regulations could harm our business; we may be
exposed to liabilities that other entertainment service providers
would not customarily be subject to; our business and prospects
depend on the strength of our brands; we are a "controlled company"
within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing rules and, as a result,
qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate
governance requirements; while we currently pay a quarterly cash
dividend to holders of our common stock, we may change our dividend
policy at any time; and our principal stockholder has significant
influence, including over actions requiring stockholder approval,
and its interests may differ from the interests of other holders of
our common stock. Additional factors that could cause our results
to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which are filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and available at the
