and for whom English is a dominant language regardless of whether these artists are Black, White, Asian-American, etc.: One final note - Anglo-American here is used to refer primarily to the national and linguistic status of individual pop stars and is understood as INCLUDING all pop artists whose nationality is American, British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealander, etc. Above this ongoing documentation, I have a running total, which was started for the Spotify Weekly Global and U.S. Weekly Top 10 list both by way of links to Apple Numbers Spreadsheets and screen shots of those Apple Numbers Spreadsheets. The latter exercise empirically verifies the validity of a theory of American Insularity in the Center (ACIC) - unless, unexpectedly, large numbers of non-Anglo-American artists and non-English-language songs start popping up on the Spotify Charts US Weekly Top 10. More broadly, the goal is to empirically document, across time, the comparative cultural and linguistic domination of American and English-language pop globally on Spotify and to illustrate the same thing in terms of pop music streaming on Spotify U.S. non-English language songs in the Spotify Global Weekly Top 10 and Spotify U.S.

The comparative presence of English-language vs.

The (lack of ) presence of non-Anglo-American pop artists appearing in the Spotify Global Weekly Top 10 and Spotify U.S.

The primary aim is to chronicle the following => I started this with the Global and US Weekly Top 10 list for the week of 9-17-2020. I am sampling one Global and US weekly Top 10 list from each month.

I am using this once-a-month sample of these weekly lists to survey them for the (lack of) presence of songs sung in languages other than English. This page tracks the Spotify Charts Weekly Top 10 Streamed songs for the World and for the United States on a once-a-month basis.
