Scene + Heard: The most played artist on Spotify and all the latest music news

MUSIC NEWS: Who is the most streamed artist of the decade on Spotify? Apparently, it’s Drake, with an incredible 28bn streams on the service. He does miss out on the most streamed song spot to ‘Shape Of You’ by Ed Sheeran.

GIG WISE: The Marquee in Cork dominated the gig news this week, with a string of announcements for what is expected to be the final year at the Monahan Road venue before the site is developed. Picks of the bunch include Sinead O’Connor (June 5), The National (June 8) and Orbital (June 20). With a decent roster of acts also playing Musgrave Park in June, it looks like being one the busiest summer ever on Leeside in terms of music offerings.
