How to read these numbers
A mention is an appearance in a story published by one of the 402 outlets we follow. Stories are grouped: if ten outlets cover the same event, it counts once.
Rankings and shares are always read against other artists in the same period, never as absolute counts, because our archive keeps growing.
The count measures how much they are discussed, not their worth. And absence from a period means we did not record it, not that nobody wrote about them.
