Compare the starter rankings with actual Wikipedia statistics. Popularity and genre specificity are separate measures: a famous artist with generic genres can still be a hard opening question.

Genre difficulty uses inverse frequency of the artist's genre tags within the current artist catalogue. Familiarity uses real Wikipedia metrics only after you run the optional importer; otherwise it uses explicitly labelled editorial estimates. It is not a measured audience-recognition score.
