Welcome to this month's edition of the Spotify Mega List, where we rank metal and hard rock bands by their Spotify listeners. This month we decided to show you how each band's following has changed over the past 30 days. While a handful of bands saw their followings shrink, the vast majority grew, which we love to see! Looking for some new tunes? Click each band's name to be taken directly to their Spotify page.
As always, this is not an exact science, the rankings should not be taken as fact, as these are just ranking relative to the other artists we chose for this study. Meaning, there could be artists that may not have been listed who have more listens. We try to keep the list as accurate as possible, so if you know an artist missing, please mention it in the comments and we'll add it for next month.
Here are the readings for the last 30 days. You can see our previous standings here.
