How fast people finish
A run is ten rounds on Michael Jackson. This is how quickly players get all ten right.
The clock is the ten answer times added together, each measured from the start of its round with clip loading included — not wall-clock, because pauses between rounds are not measured. A run counts only if all ten rounds were answered, none was skipped, no single answer came in under a second and the whole run took at least fifteen. 104 runs on this artist were excluded by that floor. Nerve on the last round. 91% of players who had the first nine right also got the tenth. The first round costs you 916ms against the median of rounds two to ten — nobody is warm on the opening clip.

What this is, and is not
Who is measured. Muzify players who chose this artist in the app — mostly existing fans, not a random public sample. Read it as "how well do their own listeners know the catalogue", never as national awareness.
What "named it" means. One clip, four options, a five-second clock. Chance alone is 25%.
Floors. A song appears only above 200 answers; a market only above 25,000 plays. Everything else is withheld rather than shown thin.
Player counts are bands, never exact figures.
