Metallica Racks Up Over 21,000 Years of Streaming on Spotify in 2025 So Far

Metallica just dropped their Spotify Wrapped stats — and the numbers are absolutely massive. The thrash legends pulled in 2.2 billion streams on Spotify in 2025 alone, and we’re only at the start of December.

Those plays came from 93.9 million listeners, spanning 184 countries, adding up to a mind-breaking 185 million hours of listening. That’s more than 21,000 years of Metallica played on Spotify — a literal lifetime of riffs, solos, and metal history. And remember, this is only Spotify… not counting what they’re pulling on YouTube, Apple Music, Tidal, and every other platform.

As for the tracks fans kept coming back to, Metallica’s top Spotify songs this year were:

• Enter Sandman

• Nothing Else Matters

• Master of Puppets

• One

• For Whom the Bell Tolls

A legendary catalog still ruling the streaming era — and proving once again why Metallica continues to dominate across generations.
