"We've accomplished quite a bit over the past decade, so it's no small statement to say that 2011 was probably our biggest year yet," Irwin said. "I told our team that when we topped one million paid subscribers, I'd shave my head ... it was probably the best free haircut I've ever had."

Rhapsody?s music subscription service lets users stream unlimited music online or download tunes to listen to offline. The company?s library has more than 13 million songs and a subscription costs $10 a month.

In February 2010, Rhapsody was spun off by its parent companies, RealNetworks?
