Prince ranked #2 for most unique words used

Another cross-post from Reddit. I thought it was pretty cool.

I don't seem to be able to embed the infographic. So...

The first one is unique words per 1000 words. Although as far as I can see it doesn't specify their accounting of each 1000 word sample. It could be chronological or some kind of average. An average could skew things.

The second list (more straight forward and relevant IMO) is the total of unique words used over an artist's career. Which MPLS seems to dominate. Closely followed by someone who famously doesn't write his own lyrics. So keep your salt handy. But it's still pretty cool.

yeah I need to see their method of data culling there, because if stuff like "Cybersingle" or "Hypnoparadise" was omitted this list is underselling our dude.
