Many, even long-time users on Last.fm, do not understand how the tag system works. It is essentially democratic: the tags used most often are the ones that appear. So, for example, if ten people tag Eminem as techno, but only five tag him as hip hop, then techno will show up first. That is why it is so important to tag things yourself. I use the Last.fm Mass Tagger for PC (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lastfmmasstag) to do it. The charts on a tag page are determined by which artists, albums and tracks are tagged most frequently with that term. They have nothing to do with popularity, listener counts or scrobbles. That is why the system is so vulnerable to abuse. For example, in November 2024, I was the first to use the tag "vintage pop" on Last.fm, intended for pop music from the 1920s, 30s and 40s. The top artist now is River Westin, some lad younger than me.

While I agree No Doubt are ska, their hits "Don't Speak" and "Just A Girl" aren't ska and shouldn't be listed as such.

Tons of fun feel good bands who have recorded ska. Interestingly, I see Operation Ivy is not in the top 5. If only they recorded more music, they'd easily be in the top 5 artists.

It is nice. Very tropical, happy, beautiful voices singing and sometimes horns (they were rare so it's kinda weird that Madness made people totally forget about that). Music that makes you want to dance. Or cry, it depends. I love classic ska, it feels like looking a really old picture or watching some "slice of life" film; it makes you understand better what those Jamaican geniuses were going through — and eventually they got really religious so there's that. I don't like roots reggae very much.

OneBlackStripe: This honor goes to post-rock. No other genre could be more lifeless and unexciting than post-rock.

But the most listened artists are from "Ska Punk", "2 Tone", "Third Wave Ska", the original Ska is very relaxing very close to the Reggae, lol
