Bastille have been revealed to be overall the most popular artist on Spotify in the UK’s major towns and cities.
The Guardian newspaper requested the data from Spotify, and found, out of 22 town and cites, Bastille to be the favourite in Aberdeen, Belfast, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Derby, Dundee, Edinburgh, Hull, Leicester, Nottingham, Plymouth, Southampton and Swansea.
Only the Arctic Monkeys came close, at number one in local areas such as Sheffield and Leeds – and a bit further afield in cities including Manchester and Glasgow – while the most popular London act is Daft Punk. Only Newcastle, with Avicii, ventures outside those three bands.
