I AM 25% MAINSTREAM!
I thought this was a really neat game, so I had to give it a go. The whole time I was doing it, I was hoping that my number would be as low as possible... I don't know why this is! I don't really understand why it seems like such a bad thing to be mainstream. It's interesting.
To compare, I am going to repeat the same method on the top 25 of the last 3 months (as, to be honest, I rarely listen to the artists in my Top 25 Overall anyways) so it will be interesting to see if I've become less mainstream.

I AM 9% MAINSTREAM!
Wow, so this definitely proves that a) I'm less mainstream in the last 3 months than the last 3 years and b) I have way too much free time on my hands.
