Spotify Listenership for 650 Artists

How was your Sunday?

Fenriz, just because.

The last one of these went out in September 2021, so I figure we are due: Monthly Spotify Listenership for nearly 650 Hard Rock, Metal, and Punk(ish) bands.

Comment or reply with any additions you’d like to see. You can always click over to the Stream N’ Destroy page on the internets, where you’ll see any new updates.

I covered a wide variety of subgenres, digging through the rosters of various management companies, booking agencies, and record labels, in an effort to give a robust look at the health of the genre, and how multiple bands are faring. Which marketing efforts paid off? Which tours helped build an audience?

Hopefully seeing this kind of data offers a bit of help in your decision-making.

How was your Sunday?
