Eight of Darius Rucker's ten nearest neighbors are fellow musicians, and the scores barely separate them — a 14-point band from 0.94 to 0.96 with no single dominant pull. That tight, same-kind cluster is the defining feature of this audience shape.
The two neighbors that break the pattern are athletes: Tim Tebow at 0.96 — the highest score in the set — and Dale Earnhardt Jr. at 0.94. Both sit comfortably inside the same narrow band as the musicians, so their presence isn't a sharp departure; it's a consistent secondary thread. The musician neighbors include Zac Brown Band (0.95), Kenny Chesney (0.95), Carrie Underwood (0.95), Phillip Phillips (0.95), Kellie Pickler (0.95), Scotty McCreery (0.94), Cole Swindell (0.94), and Trisha Yearwood (0.94) — a dense cluster of country-adjacent acts with no outlier pulling away from the rest.
The flat shape here reflects an audience that maps cleanly onto a single genre ecosystem, with athletes woven in at the same level of overlap rather than as a distinct second cluster.
