Spotify have today revealed a list of the Top 20 most-streamed Halloween songs.
A mixture of old favourites and a selection of rock bangers, as you'd expect Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is at number one, and according to the streaming giant the song has topped the list globally for the past three years.
"Thriller" is followed closely by Ray Parker Jr.’s 80s hit "Ghostbusters" and "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers.
Then it's the turn of rock riots such as Ozzy Osbourne’s "Bark at the Moon", The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for The Devil", The Cranberries' "Zombie" and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell", as well as Hip Hop records like DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "A Nightmare on My Street" and Whodini's "Freaks Come out at Night".
