This is why I used Spotify listeners and not plays or ticket sales or album sales. It's a metric that doesn't really require a band to be currently active. New hits will clearly improve the metric but we're talking here specifically about a person's outreach today and influence on a voting population.
The idea that more individual people listened to her music than had a single Beatles song in their playlist or a single Michael Jackson song in their playlist is pretty insane. I know I listen to at least one Beatles song a month, it doesn't matter if it is new.
Still, not as many people listen to older bands even if they are fans and especially for older bands people tend to listen more in other mediums
Take any videoclip from YouTube for example of any of the greatest song that is a 3, 4, 5 decades old and it will have far less views than a mild reggaeton hit from last summer, even if the old song has had far longer to accumulate views
