You can do better than this. Where is the transparency? Why not include “notice that we’re only talking about the top thirty videos with acts signed to major labels” and “Ok Go has a string fan base already with plenty of outlets waiting to help share and spread the video”. If you’re DIY, don’t try this at home and expect the same results.

The graphic claims, contrary to all evidence, that “[song] quality and vitality go hand in hand”.
If that were true, then Gangnam Style should have bombed.

OKGo’s video virality did not translate into income.
It did not even translate into song virality: people remember their videos, but not the songs.
