I was listening to [Northern Portrait](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gQ4SDf0AP0) and noticed that they only have **857** monthly listeners. They are/were a Danish guitar pop band that were an overnight sensation in 2007. Rich in jangling guitars and downbeat lyrics it is very tasteful stuff and now I can be pretty sure that, while I am listening, world wide very few others are. What’s your most “least popular” listen? ---

Without looking at the numbers I would have guessed either Heilung or one of the mongolian metal bands I like but thats probably for the US only and I don’t really know how popular or not they are here Maybe some of the older funk I have in my playlist? Maybe I’ll get back later and check the numbers next time I fire up the music ---

Of the artists that I consistently listen to, it would be Worm Ouroboros at 335 monthly listeners. > **[Worm Ouroboros hometown, lineup, biography | Last.fm](https://www.last.fm/music/Worm+Ouroboros/+wiki)** > > Read Worm Ouroboros's bio and find out more about Worm Ouroboros's songs, albums, and chart history.

Mine is a UK band with and extremely difficult to search name. Gang. 514 monthly listeners. And that’s a shame because their recent two-song album, _Joint_ (also super difficult to search for) is the greatest thing I’ve heard this year. ---

I only checked the few most recent bands I’ve listened to multiple songs by. Brenda Xu, 803 monthly listeners. The Dirty Ghosts, 707 monthly listeners. The Elliots, 357 monthly listeners. And both Brad Caleb Cane and Forty Winks only have 213 monthly listeners each.
