Okay and top 500 is still upper echelon in general. Saying they're top 50 when they weren't even a part of a genre that broke into the mainstream at their inception and when they moved on to more popular styles like Alt Metal they still didn't break as much as multiple of their contemporaries to those genres did.

Slayer only have half a mil more monthly Spotify listeners than in flames. Slayer has gotta be top 20 or 30 for metal

For context, Asking Alexandria have nearly 3 mil



And breaking benjamin have over 5 mil



So, it's not that every pioneering-in-their-era old band is up there



And devin townsend is barely over 350 k for his solo + project stuff combined



Really puts things into perspective

The only metal bands that I can find with more Spotify streams are metallica, slayer, and then some nu metal bands that probably get a lot of streams from 35 year old dudes listening to nu metal playlists lol

Even with all those bands and others listed, I still don't think that necessarily puts in flames out of the top 50 in streaming numbers

Yeah Sabaton is crazy huge. Don't know how lol



Just looked at Dragonforce and their streaming numbers are fairly comparable to in flames with the exception of through the fire and flames. Similar amount of monthly listeners. I would definitely guess that dragonforce is at least top 50 in terms of popularity

"those are some vanilla ass bands"



i mean that's probably why they're so big, most people listening to those bands just want metal and don't look too deep into genres

casavir is a devilishly dissolute reprobate and a perverted flesh-creeping acrid smog of oppressively caustic oral effluvium
