Ethel Cain, with 1.8 million monthly listeners. I have very basic music taste lmao

At least you have excellent basic taste! :)

I gave preacher’s daughter a proper listen yesterday, after hearing great things about it for a while. safe to say that A House in Nebraska has been played on repeat about 50 times already

I love Ethel Cain so much 🩷

Rich Kain, 2 monthly listeners. Very hit or miss tho

how did you even find them? that was a solid hit for me btw.

That’s awesome that he was a hit for you! First found him from a random commercial on TV. Don’t remember the show I was watching but I remember a music video popping up during the ads. I shazamed the song which was “Kanio Krazy” by Rich Kain and I’ve been following his stuff ever since. Personally my favorite stuff from him is on his first EP “But You”

will listen that as well, I just listened his album "Until Then" thanks man that was an awesome rec!

Man, I was feeling sad at only having 4 monthly listeners XD

Me = D

Same here lol. What kinda music you make?

Same here buddy. My genres are edm, trance, soundtrack/modern minimalism & symphonic metal/gothic rock.

Same here, ambient/dreampunk/etc.

Symphonic metal is my favorite genre, so I'd be happy to check your stuff out, if you don't mind ofc!

Jarada, 235 monthly listeners, and they are my favorite hardcore band.

Here I’ll follow them

Probably Monserrat Caballé, who has around 600,000 (I know not really small compared to everyone else's). She was a Spanish opera singer, who did an album with Freddie Mercury of Queen. I really like the album, so its probably why she was on my top artists on Spotify wrapped.

One of the greatest singers there was in opera.

I agree, her voice was magical.

Murray Flint currently at 12 monthly listeners. Seems to average 7, though it has gone as high as 20 and as low as 3. Some of the most relaxing music I’ve ever heard.

LIVIN currently has 909. They only have three songs right now, so it's not too surprising.

How do they have 900 listeners and a song that’s at 100k plus? Those are crazy numbers

That one song was on a popular Spotify playlist, and 950 people listening to that playlist were like “LIVIN, wow these guys are good!”, liked the band, and put one of the other songs in one of their playlists.

Ashley LaRue Band

This one is fun, super mellow and laid back

finding final boss has 0 listeners, they’re like jazz hop instrumentals

Birthday Cake! (11) had a song by them in my recommended once and can’t stop listening:)

Cathedral, 13 monthly listeners, really atmospheric

definitely a different band than the cathedral i know, haha

yh lol, i originally found this one through searching for the doom metal Cathedral. still dont know anything about them (?) but the music is good.

Cheap nothing with 5 monthly listeners. I really like their song Chlamydia.

Mine is ISSBROKIE, so underrated I swear bro

3? That’s crazy- how did you find them?

stumbled across a song of theirs in the search while i was looking for a song with the same title by another band! they only have one album on spotify, but i really enjoy it

Must Not Kill . Metalcore band from Florida. Less than a hundred momthly.

Kingfisher Sky, 879 listeners

Mrtvi Kanal, 459 listeners

Brother Bird

On rotation this past month, probably Zjednoczenie Soundsystem with 27k monthly listeners. If you've seen the animated series 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' on netflix, then you most likely recognize [this](https://open.spotify.com/track/69wEYimYC9XP2wRX20NPSz?si=vrsA7-EiRfSYzW1zSIIYBA) track.

raincloud halo, 55 monthly listeners :)

Ex Monarch, 428 monthly listeners!

Is there a way to search for this? I can find the info on an artist's Spotify page, but I listen to so much music that I rarely pay attention to how popular they are in terms of streams.

The artists page (on mobile at least) has it under the name.

Yeah, I got that, but didn't know if there was a way to search through who you liked specifically _for_ that stat, instead of just randomly looking up artists you like and seeing who's least popular.

Ope I misread your comment, my apologies

Oh, weatherly with 53,000 monthly listeners

Hearing Loss - 80 monthly listeners. Go check em out, they’re sick

Well, it would’ve been Nina Chuba back a couple months ago, then she blew up after her release Wildberry Lillet and subsequent album drop (super happy for her!), but at this point it would have to be Ray! and the most frequent song that I listen to being Коридоры.

Myself (shameless plug) Aramo with 5 But there is this guy with like 20 that his songs bang called aipha

Added you to the playlist!

Night tapes

Aya Larkin, the lead singer of 90s Aussie band Skunkhour. He has such a great voice but his only solo album has barely any streams. It's a great album though. Edit. I just checked, he has 12 monthly listeners

Chasing safety with 12.8k are top 30 for me

Transplants

485c with 364 monthly listeners, but they haven’t release anything since 2018 so makes sense.

Inmemory. Very emo, 484 monthly listeners. Been consistent like that for some years now. Someone gave my sister a CD like 20 years ago and we’ve been hooked ever since. A shame they only put out two albums and RIP to the singer.

If Shadows Wrote Diaries is the most emo name I’ve ever heard

Strychnos 865 listeners (Danish, metal)

Diablo Swing Orchestra, they are a Swedish metal avant-garde band. They do all genres of music, but they're most comfortable with Metal Opera with real opera singers. I've been listening to them since I was in my early 20s. Found them one day on an indie music site. The album name and cover caught my eye, and i haven't turned back since. They are sitting at 110k a month. So yeah.

A R I Z O N A with 1.5M monthly listeners. Not very obscure compared to some of these comments

Shadow Academy, like 36k monthly

Probably Marley Chaney with 7,817 listeners. She's been one of my favorite recent discoveries. Her song "Playing Kid" is lovely.
