Arctic Monkeys' 505 among most popular songs listen to on the loo

20 June 2021, 13:00

The track is among the Top 3 of most popular songs found in playlists created for taking a toilet break.

Arctic Monkeys' 505 is an absolute fan favourite, especially when it comes to their live performances.

But a study has found that the Favourite Worst Nightmare track is very popular for fans when they engage in the more private pastime of going to the toilet.

Uswitch has analysed Spotify data to reveal the songs and artists most listened to when on the loo and 505 came third overall. By analysing hundreds of Spotify playlists with relevant names and terms like ‘pooping’ and ‘pooing’, the data revealed an eclectic mix of songs and artists people most listen to.

The song topping the list overall was TikTok favourite Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood, while Chanel by Frank Ocean came close behind in... number two.

When it came to the most listened to artists, Billie Eilish topped them all with the most songs collectively found in playlists, followed by The Weeknd, Tame Impala, Bruno Mars and The Neighbourhood.

Five British artists make the top 20 toilet-time artists, ranging from classic bands like The Beatles (14th) to Harry Styles at 11th place.

It seems that we're also a fan of female voices whilst on the loo as there are eight female singers within the top 20, with Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Lana Del Ray all featuring regularly on poop playlists.
