Gaming Groovers: The top 10 gaming songs revealed!
- A new report from Ebuyer has revealed the most streamed gaming songs worldwide
- Minecraft’s Sweden created by German composer C418, A.K.A. Daniel Rosenfeld, takes the top spot with a whopping 85 million streams!
- A shocking snub from the list is the Final Fantasy series soundtrack by Japanese composer Nobuo Uetsama
Can you imagine obtaining sweet gaming victory to a wall of silence? We all know games for their amazing graphics or storylines, but it’s the soundtrack that can heighten our victory… or move us to tears.
It’s no surprise that artists such as Paul McCartney, Nine Inch Nails, and David Bowie have gone on to soundtrack some iconic games – the BAFTAs even have their own gaming category!
To recognise gaming’s contribution to music, Ebuyer has used Spotify streaming data to reveal the world’s top 10 gaming songs. The full list is as follows:

Taking the coveted top spot is Minecraft’s ‘Sweden’ by German compose Daniel Rosenfield, with a whopping 85 million streams. ² This means C418 could be drawing in around $341,000 from streaming alone.
Action-adventure and role-playing games dominated the top 10 including Grand Theft Auto V, The Best of Us, and Skyrim.
However, more shocking than the list itself are the songs snubbed from the list! The legendry Final Fantasy soundtrack by Japanese composer Nobuo Uematsu failed to make the top ten! Even Mario couldn’t get mush-room on the list.
Now the only thing left to do is add these songs to your playlists!

Golden Matrix Posts Strong Q1; Eliminates Debt and Accelerates Market Expansion
Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI) (“Golden Matrix” or the “Company”), a developer, licensor, and global operator of online gaming platforms, today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The quarter reflects the Company’s strong group execution, platform innovation, and continued expansion across regulated gaming markets.
Brian Goodman, CEO of Golden Matrix, commented, “We entered fiscal 2025 with elevated operating efficiency and diversified revenue streams that continue to scale across high-growth markets. Our raffle segment reached all-time highs, our debt profile strengthened meaningfully, and our B2B and B2C businesses are both operating from positions of renewed financial and strategic strength.”
Financial and Strategic Highlights
-
Record Raffle Segment Performance: The Company’s raffle businesses reported all-time highs in revenue, ticket sales, and prize values. User growth surged 146% year-over-year, with 26,000 new registrations in Q1.
-
Strategic Balance Sheet Optimization: GMGI eliminated approximately $9.6 million in Lind Global debt and converted over $9.5 million in Meridianbet acquisition-related debt into equity this year, enhancing financial flexibility.
-
Revenue Growth: Q1 2025 consolidated revenue was $42.7 million, up 72% year-over-year, partially impacted by a negative 4% FX headwind
-
Gross Profit: Gross profit reached $24.2 million, with a consolidated gross margin of approximately 57%. Meridianbet gross margin improved to 72%, while the combined GMAG and Rkings/CFAC segments improved to 29%.
-
The Company had a net loss of $300,000 or a 0-cent loss per share. This was a decline of $4.2 million, or 5-cents a share, from the same period last year. The decline was due to an increase in acquisition-related amortization of $1.7 million, interest expense of $1.5 million, and stock-based compensation of $1 million.
-
Adjusted EBITDA(1) declined by $0.3 million, or 5%, to $5.6 million, as increased gross profit was offset by an operating spend increase to expand our business geographically, improve our market share, and advance our gaming technology in support of full-year growth initiatives.
Meridianbet Performance
Zoran Milosevic, CEO of Meridianbet, commented, “Our Q1 results demonstrate focused execution across regulated markets, bolstered by operational efficiency and continuous innovation. We are deepening user engagement, expanding licensing coverage, and strengthening our position as a global operator of choice.”
-
Brazil: Secured a permanent online betting license, unlocking full national access in a projected $5.6 billion gross gaming revenue market for 2025.
-
Africa: Launched B2B operations in Nigeria through a fully licensed local entity, entering one of Africa’s most dynamic gaming economies.
-
Serbia: Renewed a 10-year online license, preserving regulatory continuity in a mature and profitable core market.
-
User Metrics: First-time deposits grew 56%, new registrations rose 22%, and total deposits increased 12% compared to Q1 2024.
-
Expanse Studios: Meridianbet’s proprietary game development arm expanded its North American footprint with five new integrations into U.S.-based sweepstakes casinos. The studio also advanced its in-house content roadmap, including an enhanced crash games portfolio and anticipates licensing in Romania for Q2.
Financial Outlook
Golden Matrix expects full-year 2025 revenue to range between $190 million and $195 million, reflecting a growth rate of 26% to 29% over 2024. The Company continues to invest in technology, content, and international licenses to drive long-term shareholder value.
Rich Christensen, CFO of Golden Matrix, added, “We’re executing on disciplined capital allocation and long-term strategic investments. Our improving net leverage, healthy free cash flow, and scalable platform position us to accelerate growth across 2025 and beyond.”
(1)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Earnings excluding Interest Expense, Interest Income, Tax, Depreciation Expense, Amortization Expense, Stock-based Compensation Expense and Restructuring Costs”, included in the tables at the end of this release.
In terms of GAAP accounting and Meridianbet being the accounting acquirer, the comparisons presented are correctly stated and are reflective of our new structure. Comparisons presented in terms of GAAP are the consolidated Company’s results against Meridianbet Group historical results and not against Golden Matrix Group’s, historical results.
The full visual presentation and the earnings call can be accessed at 8:00am ET on the Golden Matrix Group IR website at goldenmatrix.com/events-presentations/.
