PlayStation 4 owners love hip-hop and Drake, according to Spotify

Ever since Sony's PlayStation 4 got Spotify last year, gamers have been swapping out standard game soundtracks for their own custom songs. It's a pretty great way to integrate your own musical preferences into games.

So, what are people listening to? Mostly hip-hop, specifically Drake - that's according to a one-year anniversary post that Spotify published on Friday morning.

Even Drake doesn't know why people like him.

As it turns out, PlayStation 4 owners in the US are overwhelmingly interested in hip-hop over all other music genres. "For gamers in the US, hip-hop is by far the favorite genre," Spotify's post says.

The music selection gets a bit broader if you look at worldwide usage numbers, though it's still overwhelmingly hip-hop. Here are the top tracks streamed through Spotify on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and Xperia devices:

  2. "See You Again (feat. Charlie Puth) - From Furious 7 by Wiz Khalifa
  3. "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd
  4. "Hotline Bling" by Drake
  5. "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap

To be clear, this isn't just songs streamed while people are playing games. Spotify on PlayStation 4 works whether you're playing a game or not - you can stream whatever you want, whenever you want. That's evident when you look at the most popular hour of the week to stream Spotify: Friday from 8:00 - 9:00 p.m.

But it's not all Drake dancing in colored rooms and not being able to feel your face. The top artists include the likes of The Biebs and 8-mile's own Marshall Mathers.

We'd guess that the majority of this stuff isn't being used to replace game soundtracks - who wants to listen to Drake's party music while playing "Bloodborne?" - but it's still noteworthy how many people are using the PlayStation 4 as a stereo.
