Maybe part of that is because Cat Stevens played GF and it was televised bringing him into the minds of people who then went and listened to more?

No not really. It's just the most objectively available set of statistics to judge popularity. I get you're a big Neil Young fan but my argument stands. I'd also note that the BST show was a co-headline with Bob Dylan who, very clearly, was the draw that day.

Nothing today then, eh? Oh well.

That's potentially because Neil Young wasn't on Spotify for 2 whole years.    Additionally, Yusuf's songs are regularly included on major TV shows and movie soundtracks.   I'm starting to think you're actually Yusuf. Neil's bigger than you, just get over it.

Agreed.
