These are the Top 25 Metal Albums on Apple Music
Ever wondered how various artists from throughout the metal and hard rock communities stack up against one another when it comes to YouTube views, Apple Music streams, pure album sales, ticket sales (back when those were a thing… and when they become so again) and other metrics? Stream N’ Destroy is a newsletter that features all of those things and then some. Compiled by metal journalist and manager Ryan J. Downey, Stream N’ Destroy, which arrives a couple of times a week, has quickly become one of our most anticipated reads the moment it hits our inbox.
The most recent Stream N’ Destroy newsletter, which arrived last night (April 6), highlights the Apple Music Metal Albums chart, among other rankings. And, for a change — on a chart that typically displays an unwavering degree of homogeneity (just five artists dominated all but one spot in the top 25 as of one month ago) — we have a little variation this time around, with the likes of Erra, Gojira, Rob Zombie and Lamb of God breaking up the usual suspects.
Here is the chart:
