680 Artists’ Monthly Spotify Listenership
Hard Rock, Metal, Punk(ish) Artists, naturally
680 Hard Rock, Metal, Punk(ish) Artists Monthly Spotify Listenership.
Nearly all of these numbers are up from when I last compiled them in March!
I didn’t bother to make a notation if the overall growth was about the same as everyone else and instead reserved up and down arrows for artists who saw significant growth in one direction or another.
Most of the biggest gains (and drops) came from the start of new album cycles and/or singles or the conclusion of older ones, most notably with Fall Out Boy, Avenged Sevenfold, Corey Taylor, Slaughter To Prevail, and Code Orange.
The gigantic increase for Glassjaw comes courtesy of singer Daryl Palumbo’s appearance on a song with Lil Uzi Vert and Bring Me The Horizon, which also shows up on the Glassjaw artist profile and counts toward the band’s overall listeners.
All figures are worldwide.
