Oh, and the mp_top_stuff.html page was created less than a week ago.

You're absolutely right that we could, in theory, have that data, but we do not currently. Not in any usable form (for this purpose) anyway.

Note that ListenBrainz may be used for getting "popularity" metrics, but that is not its intended goal.
