Thriller and Dracula Top Halloween Streaming Lists

Michael Jackson's Thriller and Tame Impala's Dracula are the most-streamed Halloween songs in the days before October 31. Early data released ahead of the holiday identifies these two tracks as the leaders in spooky season playback.

Jackson's song remains a fixture of the holiday. It appeared on his 1982 album and has stayed associated with Halloween for more than four decades. The track's horror-inspired lyrics and famous music video keep it in rotation every year.

Tame Impala's Dracula offers a newer alternative. Its strong streaming performance places the contemporary release alongside one of pop music's most recognizable seasonal songs. This pairing shows how modern tracks now share space with established classics on holiday playlists.

The holiday traditionally draws listeners to songs about monsters, ghosts, and supernatural themes. Other recurring favorites include Monster Mash and Ghostbusters. These tracks continue to see renewed attention as the date approaches.

The early results illustrate how both classic recordings and newer music shape the holiday's soundtrack. Streamers are turning to familiar sounds and fresh releases in equal measure this week.
