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.

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.
