Next Big Sound - Beautiful Line Charts to Understand Music Popularity

I just came across this site called nextbigsound for visualizing artist and music popularity. Unlike most other so called visualizations, this site uses simple line charts (with clearly contrasted colors) to show which music / artist is more popular. You can compare several artists at a time.


For eg. see Ciara compared to MJ:

What do you think about this site?
 
Not a bad presentation, except for the wandering y-axis range that tends to misrepresent the significance of the results. The interactive search is nice.


I wonder what's going on with the data. Most spikes of "interest" seem to occur on a Tuesday. Given the named sources (MySpace, lastfm, ilike) Tuesday does not seem like the day that would correlate with high traffic.
