Spotify has been scraped---and the data---wow.

Put that top 10,000 songs list up on your browser and then use the browser's "find" feature to see where legendary artists are.

Here's the first one free.

Elvis Presley shows up only once in those 10,000 songs...at #1044.

That archive.is snapshot of the top 10,000 songs page only actually archived up to song #1579. Elvis Presley shows up 4 times in the full list. The Beatles are on there with 13 songs.

There's a Github repository for now hosting the complete list. Here's a link to download it in csv format: spotify-top-10k-analysis/spotify-top-10k-analysis/data at main · pari-afk/spotify-top-10k-analysis. The raw version is fine for determining the number of times an artist appears. You might want to delete Column F to avoid double counting songs that are off of a self-titled album.

Thanks for the work and clarification. I think the fundamentals of the demographics remain intact here. When you have to go to #2897 to get the second-most popular Elvis song, it says folks aren't listening to much Elvis on Spotify.
