Ζούμε εδώ και αρκετά χρόνια στην εποχή του streaming με το Spotify να παραμένει ο κυρίαρχος στις προτιμήσεις των ακροατών (και το Apple Music από κοντά), με τις ακροάσεις να υπολογίζονται κανονικά πλέον ως πωλήσεις δίσκων και να παίζουν σημαντικό ρόλο στη διαμόρφωση των charts.

Στη rock μουσική και το metal, οι πωλήσεις φυσικών προϊόντων παραμένουν σε υψηλά επίπεδα σε σχέση με άλλα είδη, όμως και εδώ τα stream των μεγάλων συγκροτημάτων μετριούνται πλέον σε εκατοντάδες εκατομμύρια. Η λίστα που ακολουθεί περιλαμβάνει τα 150 άλμπουμ από το χώρο του Rock και του Metal με τα περισσότερα στο spotify, με τους δίσκους που αποτελούν την πρώτη δεκάδα να ξεπερνούν ή να είναι κοντά στα δύο δισεκατομμύρια.

Οι Queen είναι η μπάντα με τα περισσότερα άλμπουμ στη λίστα (8) και ακολουθούν οι Linkin Park (5) που έχουν και το νούμερο ένα άλμπουμ. Πάνω από δύο άλμπουμ έχουν και οι Red Hot Chili Peppers, οι Metallica, οι AC/DC, οι Guns N’ Roses, οι System of a Down και οι Avenged Sevenfold, ενώ οι οπαδοί των Iron Maiden μάλλον δεν ακούνε spotify αφού ούτε ένα από τα άλμπουμ της μπάντας δεν βρίσκεται στη λίστα. H απουσία των Tool από τη λίστα οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι η μπάντα έκανε διαθέσιμη την δισκογραφία της στις ψηφιακές πλατφόρμες μόλις το 2019.
