What's currently the "biggest" metal band? - eviltoast

Basically Title.

Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we’re “old”, we could only come up with yesteryears titans.

Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?

    In day to day radio? None, if not a specific special interest station.

    But seems that Linkin Park has 40.5 million monthly listens on Spoopify, followed by Metallica with 25mio

      Linkin park isn’t metal anymore, and I’ve actually heard metallica on the radio, but no other metal band
