I'm wondering how much this is skewed by playlists -- i.e. a popular song's stats are amplified by its inclusion on popular playlists and Spotify radio. It'd be fun to see if these stats would change if you included only songs that people actively seeked out.

Yea, the plan was to remove counts via radio and playlists, but it would have doubled the amount of work from a data call/cleaning perspective. I'd bet that the results are still directionally accurate :)

how did you "call" the data?
