Not only does their music provide unrivalled joy to heavy metal fans, Iron Maiden may now be actively easing the country out of a recession. In a report published on Friday by the London Stock Exchange, entitled 1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain, the band has been named as one of the UK&#8217;s fastest growing music firms. Iron Maiden LLP, the group&#8217;s holding company, is one of six music companies outperforming other businesses in the sector. Others include the music app Shazam, Kobalt Music Group and the production music library Audio Network.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>Using billions of real-time data from sources such as email traffic, financial transactions, PCs on the web and office space, Iron Maiden are reported to fall into the \u00a310-20m earning bracket. Their financial success is attributed to their ever-expanding global fanbase, especially online.<\/p>\n<p>According to Musicmetric, in the 12 months ending 31 May 2012, the band attracted more than 3.1 million social media fans; during the course of their Maiden England world tour, which ran from June 2012 to October 2013, their fanbase grew by 5 million online fans, with their popularity increasing markedly in South America.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Iron Maiden&#8217;s BitTorrent data suggests Brazil is a huge driver of fans \u2013 and given Brazil is one of the biggest file sharing nations on the planet, this is a strong indicator of popularity,&#8221; said Greg Mead, CEO and co-founder of Musicmetric.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With their constant touring, [the] report suggests Maiden have been rather successful in turning free file-sharing into fee-paying fans. This is clear proof that taking a global approach to live touring can pay off, and that having the data to track where your fan bases lie will become ever more vital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All the companies on the unranked list, which traverses more than 100 sectors, have revenue between \u00a36m and \u00a3250m.
