What are the biggest rock and metal bands on Spotify? Well, turns out some bands are making it very helpful to see who stands where.
SpotifyWrapped.com launched earlier this week, where fans and artists can get a year in review on the service. Artists get to see total number of fans and total number of streams and have been sharing those numbers publicly. The fine folks at The PRP have tallied the numbers, and it gives an interesting rough estimation of where bands stand on Spotify. Here's the list:

As for the raw data, you can head over to The PRP to see each band's proof. Of course, these should be taken with a grain of salt, because while some artists might get more streams, they may also have less sales, or even more streams on other services. Also, bands who released new music this year are likely to have higher streams than bands that didn't.
