In terms of behavior influence, I listened to pretty much exclusively Hamilton for like a month and didn't get very many new Broadway or hip-hop songs (which is good for me because I tend to not really listen to either genre). So there must be significant weight given to songs/genres you've historically listened to a lot.

Or, based on the way the algorithms work, people that listen to the Hamilton soundtrack a lot, don’t listen to hiphop/broadway a lot.
