Folks love ‘em some Foster The People: the band topped Spotify’s list of the year’s most streamed songs with “Pumped Up Kicks” and slotted in at fifth with “Helena Beat.”

Adam Levine also popped up on the list twice, at number two with Gym Class Heroes’ “Stereo Hearts” and sixth for “Moves Like Jagger.” The list also confirms dubstep’s breakthrough into the mainstream with Skrillex coming in at eighth with “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.” Thankfully, to counterbalance the LMFAOs and Pitbulls, Adele was third.

And hip-hop must really be dead—no rap tracks made the list, not even “Niggas In Paris.”
