Video game OSTs - particularly some of those in the indie scene, which are made with significantly less resources - continue to be some of the most under-appreciated elements of the industry, with many of them comprised of hours-long playlists that feature compelling, beautifully-composed tracks. In the age of Spotify and other music streaming services, video game soundtracks are getting a well-deserved spotlight thanks to more visible curation and easier access to them. While obvious games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band tend to have impressive song lineups, it's not all about chart success and popular singers. Metal Gear Solid 5 is a well-regarded title that performed well in both sales and reception but, for all of its success in gameplay mechanics, narrative twists and turns, and cinematic presentation, its soundtrack is rarely part of the discussion. A study on the most popular video game soundtracks on Spotify reveals an unlikely winner in the form of Metal Gear Solid 5, which surpassed heavy favorites like Guitar Hero and Rock Band to claim the crown.
