PageRank on Wikipedia puts The Beatles ahead of Mozart in a funniest-top-100 chart

A PageRank chart ranks The Beatles above Mozart among Wikipedia’s top musical artists
A meme-style chart applies PageRank across Wikipedia to produce a “top 100 most important musical artists” list. The result is deliberately funny and counterintuitive: The Beatles land at No. 1, followed by Mozart, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan.
The rest of the ranking mixes pop, classical, jazz, and rock in a way that makes the chart feel like both a data joke and a cultural argument about what “importance” means in an encyclopedia graph.
