Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Goodwill GoodwillGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Our annual impairment assessment of our two reporting units is performed as of the fourth quarter of each year, and an assessment is performed at other times if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, states that an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASC 350 also states that a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying
amount is not required to perform a qualitative assessment. Our Sirius XM reporting unit, which has an allocated goodwill balance of $2,290, had a negative carrying amount as of June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, there were no indicators of impairment, and no impairment losses were recorded for goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.  As of June 30, 2021, the cumulative balance of goodwill impairments recorded was $5,722, of which $4,766 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2008 and is included in the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to our Sirius XM reporting unit and $956 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 and is included in the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to our Pandora reporting unit.
As of June 30, 2021, the carrying amount of goodwill for our Sirius XM and Pandora reporting units was $2,290 and $860, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $6 of goodwill related to purchase accounting adjustments for the acquisition of Stitcher and $22 of goodwill related to a small acquisition which was recorded to our Pandora reporting unit. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of goodwill for our Sirius XM and Pandora reporting units was $2,290 and $832, respectively.
