The stats are based on data from Google Play, so this is really more a census of their userbase than anything else. I don't know how well represented the non-anglo world is in their userbase.

Everything that isn't European or Anglo, probably.

Man it makes me pretty sad to see jazz plummet from the top to the bottom. I like Rock more but I treasure rap/hip-hop and jazz equally.

We need to get the young peoples back into the jazz

I had no idea the christian/gospel genre was (relatively spoken) so big. Compared to World or Latin or Jazz.

No no not at all ! They're both part of my all time favourite artists (both are on my Chart more than once) but as much as I love them and think they were way better IMO than most things that worked in the 70s, their popularity and influence began in the late 80s, early 90s. In the 70s they were practically not influential.

Pretty nice but we obviously see that the guys who did that wanted to promote artists like Nick Drake or Big Star, when these artists had a minor or zero influence at the time they were active.

Yeah, it's good for what it's trying to do, not what it actually is.

That's the exact problem with these things. The only real way to try and get them more accurate is to use sales stats and etc, but then how do you deal with Indie and stuff? Not to include stuff like Nick Drake or Joy Division that didn't really have IMMEDIATE impact so much as artists found them and then they got noticed.

Awesome, though confusing why Matisyahu is more important to Reggae/Ska to them than Exuma, Sublime, Madness, The Specials, etc ...

It's basically an interactive graph that allows you to track the evolution of music genres, pretty cool tbh
