Spotify Figures Prove Just How Much We Love Our Aussie Artists

Figures released this week by Spotify to celebrate their two year anniversary in Australia reveal our love for home grown artists. Rather than seeing global pop powerhouses (Coldplay, Avicii, Beyoncé) at the top of the most streamed list, sits 22 year old Harley Streten aka Flume, who produced his first album in his bedroom whilst living in his parents’ house.

His debut self titled album took out the Most Listened to Artist, and also topped the Top 5 Most Streamed Albums List. Harley also went home with four Aria awards this year. It’s no secret that us Aussie’s love an underdog.

And that’s not all! Vance Joy (another Aussie favourite) took out Most Streamed track with Riptide and along with Matt Corby, Bliss N Eso and the Temper Trap rounded out the top 5 Local Artists.

The Top 10 List in full:

1. Flume

2.  Lorde

3. Eminem

4. Avicii

5. Daft Punk

6. Calvin Harris

7. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

8. Katy Perry

9. Kanye West

10. Coldplay
