Here’s How Many Streams Metal, Hard Rock & Hardcore Bands Got On Spotify In 2019
In what has become tradition, streaming music service Spotify have released their annual ‘Spotify Wrapped‘ retrospective, allowing both artists and listeners alike to look back at their year in music. As is also tradition, a number of those artists have shared their yearly statistics of streams, listeners and more via their social media.
As such, we are once again presented with a not entirely scientific look at how various heavy metal, hardcore and hard rock artists were consumed on the service across the past year. While by no means definitive, and obviously excluding data from other popular services, the numbers compiled from Spotify still provide an interesting look into how the heavier genres fared on streaming media in 2019.
The list will likely continue to grow over the next few days or so as more artists share their data, so check back now and then for a more complete look. If you’re curious as to how these numbers stack up to last year, you can 2018’s Spotify numbers here.
