Is there an explanation of how 'popularity' is determined?

This is less of a bug question and more a ask for clarity.

We can sort by 'popularity' but I have been unable to find any documentation or explanation of how 'popularity' is determined. Is it number of streams? Number of hits on the artists lyrics?

Thank you!

They're probably sorted by the number of views. You can ask on the API Support forum on Genius for a definitive answer.
