Rap Genius: Sorry for hammering your server but here is what I found

First and foremost, if you are from Rap Genius let me apologize first. In the past few days I have absolutely hammered your servers. I ended up sifting through 9.1 GB of data. You may or may not have noticed Crawlytics as the user-agent...

Now to the interesting part, a few days ago I spent some time browsing Rap Genius and as I was wondering around I thought wouldn't it be fun to find out which artists are most shared and more importantly how is Rap Genius doing in terms of social media traction.

Here is what I found:
