The .FM domain has been adopted by numerous high profile names including country music superstar, CarrieUnderwood.fm, the US National Public Radio's (NPR) podcast channel Earbud.fm, and China's popular online radio aggregator application Qingting.fm.

The domain also formed an integral part of Last.fm's branding - one of the music industry's most disruptive music streaming websites that was acquired by CBS in 2007 for $280m.
