You think that defining "most used" by "usage" is shady?
One cool thing Pandora might be able to do is analyze their stream data and predict where bands will have enough fans to make money on a live show. I could imagine TicketFly offering a service that essentially tells bands where to play, and of course steer them to a Ticketfly venue whenever possible.

Perhaps they define usage based on time? It seems reasonable that users would spend 1b/80m = 13 times the amount of time listening to music than they do interacting with Facebook.
If you're going to use that metric, use ~1.25 B for Facebook (monthly actives on mobile). 1.25B/80m = ~16 times.
