As we step into 2025, we are excited to highlight the most-streamed new rock album of 2024 on Spotify. However, there’s an interesting twist to this story.

To accurately identify which new album achieved the highest streaming figures in 2024, we meticulously calculated the total number of Spotify streams for each track on the top albums released throughout the year. This comprehensive analysis revealed that Falling in Reverse’s Popular Monster emerged as the most-streamed album of last year.

It’s worth noting that this conclusion may not paint the complete picture, as many tracks were already available long before the album’s release in August. For instance, the title track was initially released as a single back in November 2019, allowing fans to enjoy it for nearly five years before the album’s debut.

To date, “Popular Monster” boasts over 404 million streams on Spotify, contributing to the album’s staggering total of over one billion streams. Other standout tracks from the album include “Watch the World Burn,” “Voices in My Head,” and “Zombified,” which ranked as the next three most-streamed songs, respectively.

In a strong showing, Linkin Park closely followed Falling in Reverse with their comeback album From Zero, which has accumulated over 831 million streams since its release in November. The lead single “The Emptiness Machine” was unveiled in early September, allowing fans only a brief two-month period to stream it prior to the full album’s launch.

Bring Me the Horizon’s Post Human: NeX GEn also made a significant impact in 2024, though, similar to Falling in Reverse, many tracks were already over a year old by the time the complete album was released. For example, “Die4U” was released in September 2021, nearly three years prior to the album’s drop in May 2024.

Regardless, the album amassed an impressive total of 823 million streams, marking a considerable achievement for the rock and metal genres. For those interested, you can explore our curated list of the best rock and metal albums of 2024 at this link.
