Sirius Canada has surpassed more than 500,000 paying subscribers, adding more than 200,000 since February. The company was the first to surpass the key 500,000 subscriber milestone in the 22 months since the category was first introduced.

Sirius Canada captured 82% of retail sales year-to-date according to figures released by The NPD Group. During the Father’s Day buying period Sirius bagged an incredible 88% market share of satellite radios sold.

The company’s automotive partners also, by their claim, make up nearly 60% of vehicle sales in Canada and since January 2007 have built more than 100,000 vehicles with factory-installed Sirius.
