"Most Popular Artist" inaccurate

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Popularity should be measured by how many users have scrobbled a particular artist -- not how many scrobbles that artist has received (that would be "Most Scrobbled Artist"), as the current counter is affected by one person really liking an artist, and excessively scrobbling it -- even though it might not actually be popular.

Not massively important, of course, but either the wording or the check for popularity should be changed.

As a side note, "popularity" is defined as:

the state or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people.

And the current system does not actually follow the "many people" aspect.

An example, by the way, the current "Most popular artist" is Longmont Potion Castle - yet it only has one scrobbler. https://wilt.fm/artist/Longmont%20Potion%20Castle
