I was going to say that it’s interesting that the top 10 studios only vary by a factor of 3. Kind of argues against the idea that there is excessive media consolidation. But Disney owns fox and marvel so really it’s only 8 and the difference is over a factor of 6 and number 2 is less than half of Disney. So really consolidation is massive.

But one might expect that people would want to listen to an excellent song. The fact that the winning song had about 1% of the listens of the next most popular song in the list and the most popular song had almost 2000x more listens suggests there might be a disconnect between the people voting and the general public. Especially on Spotify where everyone had access to every song. You don’t need to buy an album or listen to a certain station.
