Cinematic Rock Band, STARSET, Cross Two Billion Streams Worldwide

The amalgamation of science fiction and epic rock music is working astonishingly well for the modern rock outfit, STARSET. Since the release of their third album, Division (2019), STARSET have furthered themselves and their unique brand in a number of significant ways. Just over a year ago they managed to break one billion streams worldwide, and this month STARSET have already doubled that figure reaching two billion streams.

“I can remember the elated feeling when one million streams was first reached,” says STARSET vocalist and lead songwriter, Dustin Bates. “I felt like this project had crossed into a new threshold of validation. When we hit a billion, it was a number hard to really even conceive. And now even that has doubled. And in a short span of time. We owe it not only to our quickly growing fan base, but also to our rabid longtime fans who make up a surprising portion of the consumption. I hope they never get tired of us!”

STARSET’s top streaming statistics have been provided by the band and are as follows:

Spotify: 334 Million

Apple Music: 64 Million

Amazon Music: 42 Million

Google Play Music: 29 Million

YouTube: 1.2 Billion

In addition to their gargantuan streaming numbers, STARSET manage to set themselves apart from most modern rock acts with their signature sci-fi themes that are woven into their brand. The band go further than simply illustrating dystopian Blade Runner-esc narratives, but integrate the sci-fi themes into much of their merchandising as well. STARSET have covered everything from AR-integrated performances, publishing their own Marvel graphic novel, and have even establishing their own fan-science based website, The Starset Society.

STARSET’s website is welcoming to fans, but you’d be hard pressed to find it’s even related to the band if you just stumbled across it. Interestingly, there’s actually not much mention of the band, but rather countless science based articles covering space, tech, and even topical subjects like the coronavirus. It all goes to show STARSET’s affinity for science, which seems to be a topic that transcends just the band’s identity.

All things considered, STARSET have one of the most firmly established brands of any modern rock band in recent years. They certainly have the most prevalent admiration for realistic sci-fi rock of any modern artists, which likely stems from founder/leader vocalist Dustin Bates who’s actually a PhD candidate in electrical engineering at Ohio University. Two billion streams however is quite the mesmerizing feet, especially for a rock act in this day and age, furthermore a rock band that’s only three albums into their career.
