Beatlesque belongs to the Rock family, which has no separate share in these chart editions; its artists still count toward that family where Spotify classifies them. Shares are stream-weighted: every play of a song on India's Spotify daily chart counts once, credited to its lead artist's genre family. Every song that Spotify can classify counts; every family outside the biggest six is grouped with them as Other. The figures come from spotify-top.com's daily charts, recorded once a day by Music Pie Chart.
