The 67 Rock + Metal Songs With Over One Billion Spotify Streams
Here are over 60 rock and metal songs with over one billion streams on Spotify.
There's more than 600 songs with one billion or more streams on Spotify, meaning rock and metal makes up roughly 10 percent of that elite group. It's a pretty noteworthy achievement for a genre everyone keeps claiming is dead and always gets snubbed by the mainstream, right?
What's even more impressive is that at least one rock/metal song from each decade since the 1960s is present. There's even a track from the 2020s and just one of these songs below has racked up over two billion streams.

Queen and Arctic Monkeys are tied for the most billion-plus streamed songs with a total of five each. Surprisingly, The Beatles — the band who has sold the most albums and compiled the most No. 1 hit songs — have only one.
NOT INCLUDED: The definition of rock is incredibly broad today and, in this list, we've elected not to include pop/rock acts such as Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5, Twenty One Pilots, 5 Seconds of Summer, Coldplay, Goo Goo Dolls, Gym Class Heroes and Train.
