Galvin Reveals Spotify’s Biggest Rock Bands, and Mike Can’t Believe Who’s #1

Today on The Mike Calta Show, Galvin brought up a list of the most-streamed rock and metal artists on Spotify, and some of the rankings were pretty surprising.

Mike couldn’t believe some of the bands that made the list, while Galvin was shocked that Led Zeppelin didn’t even crack the Top 20. Everyone agreed that age probably plays a big part in the rankings.

Most shocking was that Joe “Pap Pap” correctly guessed Linkin Park as number one, which Mike couldn’t believe. Geo wasn’t all that surprised, pointing out just how huge Linkin Park was in the early 2000s.

  1. Linkin Park – 34.9 billion
