As Halloween approaches, streaming data shows which tracks listeners are pulling into rotation, with two songs from different decades holding the top positions ahead of Oct. 31.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" leads the early streaming figures released before the holiday. The track appeared on Jackson's 1982 album and has stayed tied to Halloween for more than four decades through its sound, lyrics, and music video.
Tame Impala's "Dracula" sits alongside it in the charts, marking a newer release in Halloween listening habits. The track's streaming performance places it at the level of one of pop music's most recognized seasonal songs.
Other titles return each October on the strength of monster, ghost, and supernatural themes. "Monster Mash" and "Ghostbusters" have kept recurring popularity during the season.
The figures cover the days leading up to Oct. 31 and identify both "Thriller" and "Dracula" as the leaders in the category. "Thriller" dates to 1982.
Streaming lists issued before the holiday place Tame Impala's "Dracula" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" at the top of Halloween playlists.
