If you had Lithium on in the car last month, you probably heard a lot of Green Day, R.E.M., and Nirvana — because the data says everyone else did too.
I pulled the most played songs and bands from Lithium for April 2026. Here’s how it broke down:
The Top 3 were a dead heat:
- “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?” – R.E.M. – 41 plays
- “When I Come Around” – Green Day – 41 plays
- “Basket Case” – Green Day – 41 plays
Green Day actually claimed 3 of the top 4 spots, with “Welcome To Paradise” coming in at #4. Rounding out the top 10: Rage Against The Machine, Beastie Boys, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, Live, and The Offspring. Peak 90s energy.
Top 15 Most Played Bands – April 2026
The Seattle + Cali takeover continues:
- Nirvana
- Pearl Jam
- Stone Temple Pilots
- Green Day
- Smashing Pumpkins
- Alice In Chains
- The Offspring
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Foo Fighters
- Soundgarden
- Weezer
- Beastie Boys
- R.E.M.
- Rage Against The Machine
- Live
Nirvana and Pearl Jam still lead the pack, but STP and Green Day weren’t far behind. Basically, if your band peaked between 1991-1997, you had a good April on Lithium.
