The questions
free · no sign-inHow to read them
Ranked by how many people name a song, with recent nominations counting extra and no country taking more than eight slots. Countries and groups appear at 30 nominations; 30 to 99 is tagged thin. Nothing on these pages names a person.
People pick their song from Spotify's catalogue, so every nomination is a real track. The dashboards add what we know about the songs themselves: tempo, energy, key, when they came out, the language they are sung in, where the artist is from, their genre, and how much the lyric avoids repeating itself. Those facts cover part of the catalogue and each number says how many songs it rests on. Behind a free email sign-in: the same by age, gender and the language people wrote in, and what people wrote about their song.
