In a bit of news that should come as a surprise to literally no one who was paying attention, borderline novelty act Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are officially the most-streamed artist of 2013, according to Spotify.

"Can't Hold Us" topped the streaming service's year-end list and the single-spawning album The Heist also held the number one spot for album streams. Proving that bad taste knows no genre, Avicii and Aloe Blacc's "Wake Me Up" took second. 

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis; breakthrough hit "Thrift Shop" took third while Daft Punk (who stole the title of most streams in a day from Macklemore) came in fourth with "Get Lucky." Las Vegas Imagine Dragons (who were famously lambasted by Carles) rounded out the top 5 with their track "Radioactive."

Receiving decidedly less streams was Angel Haze's 30 Gold version of "Same Love", which blew Macklemore out of the water.
