GAME OF THRONES (GOT) is as much about sounds as sights, and as the show prepares to enter its 8th and final season, Spotify has dug into how it has influenced listening.

With more than 380 million streams of all GOT soundtracks and related playlists on Spotify since Jan. 1, 2016, it’s clear that fans of the show are also fans of the music. More than 250,000 listeners have created their own GOT-themed playlists, and many more have created character playlists. With what could be a hint as to who Spotify listeners think should sit on the Iron Throne, Tyrion Lannister has the most fan-made playlists: More than 7,700.

Also a big draw is the GOT soundtrack, scored by composer Ramin Djawadi, which provides instant recall of the characters’ most dramatic moments. “Light of the Seven,” the piece heard when Cersei blows up the Sept of Baelor in the Season 6 finale, is the most-streamed Mr. Djawadi composition since Jan. 1, 2016, followed by the show’s eponymous “Main Title” and then “The Winds Of Winter,” which accompanies Arya as she sails to Braavos at the conclusion of Season 4.

As fans prepare to return to Westeros for Season 8, Spotify has unveiled a refresh of its rock-influenced playlist, “Game of Thrones: The End Is Coming” (formerly named “Songs of Ice and Fire”), a collaboration between GOT co-creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Spotify. “We were looking for songs that made us feel the way the show made us feel,” Messrs. Benioff and Weiss told For The Record, Spotify’s blog.

Fans of the show can stream seven different playlists curated by HBO and featuring Mr. Djawadi score songs that relate to each family’s journey on GOT.

There are individual playlists for House Baratheon, House Targaryen, House Stark, House Lannister, The White Walkers, The Night’s Watch, and, The Great Houses.
