- Published
Acts including Ed Sheeran and Dolly Parton have seen a significant rise in streaming requests since performing at Glastonbury, Spotify says.
The online music streaming site claims Sheeran has seen a 195% increase in requests for his tracks.
Metallica came in second to him, with a rise of 165%.
Parton, who saw one of the biggest crowds of the weekend for her set, has had a 95% rise in requests for her songs on Spotify, placing her fifth.
The clean-up operation at Glastonbury is well underway after more than 120,000 festival-goers have now headed home.
Many of those were caught up in delays as the country roads around the Somerset site became clogged up with traffic, although organisers said they were not as bad as expected.
After five days of mixed weather which saw torrential rain, hail, thunder and lightning, campers packed up their tents in the sun.
Arcade Fire, who headlined the Pyramid Stage on Friday night, got a boost of 123% on Spotify.
Metallica topped the bill on Saturday while Kasabian closed the festival on Sunday night.
Metallica are set to have two singles in the top 50 this weekend
The boost in streaming figures come in the same week that data from sites such as Spotify, Deezer, Napster and O2 Tracks will be included in the official singles chart for the first time.
However, the latest figures from the Official Charts Company suggest any chart surges have been mainly driven by download sales.
An update on Tuesday showed that Dolly Parton's Jolene has seen the biggest chart climb, up 116 places since last week and on course to hit number 40, with 9 To 5 at 57 and Islands In The Stream at 58.
Metallica's Enter Sandman is due to enter at 43, with Nothing Else Matters at 47.
The first Official Singles Chart Top 40 to incorporate streams will be unveiled from 1600 - 1900 BST on Sunday, 6 July by Jameela Jamil on BBC Radio 1, with the full top 100 published by the Official Charts Company, external that evening.
