Spotify Listenership for 600 Artists
A roundup of Hard Rock, Metal & Punk(ish) for August 2021
SPOTIFY Monthly Listenership
Hard Rock, Metal, Punk(ish)
The month of August 2021
Justin Bieber just broke the all-time record for most monthly listeners among all artists on Spotify, with a whopping 83.3 million. That’s a considerable lead ahead of The Weeknd, who occupied the No. 2 position this month with 74.5M. The platform’s all-time record was previously held by Ariana Grande.
Spotify’s Q2 earnings showed growth in monthly average users from 356 million to 365 million, with 7 million of those coming from new subscribers. Revenues were up 73% year over year. This analysis from Glenn Peoples at Billboard does a great job breaking down the good and the bad from the company’s Q2 earnings.
Måneskin had two of the most-streamed songs this summer, at No. 2 and No. 12, on the global chart dated May 29 through August 22. Those were the only rock songs in the Top 20. They are the No. 17 group in the world on Spotify. (Their artist bio claims they are the first Italian group to spread worldwide, but I’m sure Lacuna Coil would beg to differ.) “Beggin’” currently sits at 504.1M streams. “I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE” and “ZITTI E BUONI” are at 332.3M and 2015.5M, respectively.
