Meet Frisk's Most-Played Acts of 2026
Some names have been everywhere on Frisk this year. Here's your 2026 leaderboard. And a couple of surprises.
Every song on Frisk earns its spot. But some acts have simply been everywhere in 2026. We counted the plays to find who you've heard most this year. Here's your leaderboard.
Top of the pile: The Zutons
Driven by that unstoppable Valerie, The Zutons lead with more than 5,100 plays. Not bad for one perfect pop song.
The chasing pack
Behind them sit a run of Flashback royalty: The Kinks (4,100+ plays), Pet Shop Boys (3,300+) and soul legends Sam & Dave (3,300+). Decades of quality between them.
Feel-good favourites
Gabrielle and Charles & Eddie both passed 2,100 plays, while Kenny Thomas keeps the smooth soul coming on nearly 2,000.
The modern giant
Your highest-placed current star? Taylor Swift, on around 1,800 plays. The most-played contemporary solo artist on Frisk this year, holding her own against the all-time greats. Lenny Kravitz rounds out the top nine.
Flashbacks meet the fresh
That's the Frisk formula: legends sitting happily beside today's biggest names. With half the year still to go, expect the leaderboard to keep shifting.
