These Are The Most Listened to Hard Rock/Metal Artists on Spotify In The Last Month

Last month, we started tracking where rock and heavy metal artists stand exclusively based on Spotify streams. It was a fun exercise, so we figured, why not update the stats?

What did we learn? More people listened to rock and metal this month than they did last month. Most artists' number of listeners is up, so that's great. Just for comparison, Ed Sheeran is at 68.2 million listeners, Shawn Mendes at 58.6 million, Taylor Swift has 43.2 million monthly listeners.
