This is interesting AND disturbing! Clearly Spotify has not been including some of my playlists in its tabulations.... It makes me want to heighten my own coverage of many of these artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Donna Summer, The Pointer Sisters, Huey Lewis & the News, The Fifth Dimension, Barry Manilow....Ok, all of them!

Linda Ronstadt is an interesting case. She has one of the all time great singing voices. But, all (I think) of her hit songs are covers. Though her version is often the most famous now. I wonder how that impacts her forgettability.

You could be right, although I think people need to evaluate the quality of someone's voice as a contributing factor to greatness. Ronstadt's music needs to be played more for younger people to discover it. How about a good placement in a movie or TV series?!
