Perfect! You will be a great ally to identify interesting artists to study 😉
Great article and great website. There is a minor mistake on here though. Trench Town Rock is a different song than Trench Town on the Confrontation album. Otherwise great to see how well his music still does on Spotify.
so now it seems the ONLY test is whether someone is pro or anti-LGTBDGDTAJDXYZ

So i recently was in a discussion about The Beatles and Bob Marley. Basically, I was saying that globally Bob Marley is easily mor recognized and popular than The Beatles, thoughts?
That might be true tbh, but I don't think it's the case when it comes to their music
No way. The music of the Beatles is much more famous , more renowned. While Bob is certainly the king of reggae music he never had the same success as the Beatles. Not even close.
Musically Beatles are surely more famous but as a brand name and popularity among masses Bob Marley is easily more popular than Beatles outside US&UK... surely I can say in the second most populated country India where I belong to
Can someone explain why I Shot The Sheriff and Get Up Stand Up don't show up when I do a search with the Spotify numbers tool ?
Not sure exactly but the whole Burnin' album is actually missing, not just those two tracks from it.
The album and these songs are listed under The Wailers as a distinct artist for some reason
I thought it could be that but then seen that other albums of theirs are also officially credited to just The Wailers but are listed. I also used the tool to specifically search for "The Wailers" but it just returned what searching for "Bob Marley" and "Bob Marley & The Wailers" also returns.
I did some digging and apparently the album was never released under the name "Bob Marley & The Wailers", as opposed to the previous album, Catch A Fire, originally a Wailers album in 1973 but reissued in 1975 with the new name.
Nice one Al!
This is a very tricky case - if I go to Spotify web player, on Bob Marley & the Wailers page, the album Burnin' is indeed missing, as if Spotify doesn't consider it his album. At first I though the album was removed from available ones, but from Google we can easily reach its page where all tracks can be streamed, and clicking the artist name does bring us to the Bob Marley & the Wailers page!
Dude, Beatles are WAY more famous and have a more recognisable name in all of a Europe, most of Asia, especially Japan, Oceania, North America.
I don't know about South America, but I believe Bob is pretty famous there.
