The top 10 neighbors span five distinct subcategories — Musicians and Bands, Actors, Directors, Comedians, and Politicians — with no single kind dominating the set, which is the defining feature of a broad audience shape.

Three fellow Musicians and Bands anchor the upper range: Keith Richards at 0.91, Mick Jagger at 0.88, and Ringo Starr at 0.85. These are the strongest pulls, but the neighbor set doesn't stay within that subcategory for long. Jeff Bridges (0.83) and Ron Howard (0.82) — an Actor and a Director respectively — follow immediately, and Bruce Springsteen (0.81) is the only other Musician in the top 10. The remaining four positions go to an Activist (Holly Figueroa O'Reilly, 0.81), an Actor (Dick Van Dyke, 0.81), a Comedian (Ricky Gervais, 0.80), and a Politician (Phil Ehr, 0.80). The scores compress into a tight band — 0.80 to 0.91 — with no sharp drop-off after the top three, which is consistent with the broad shape classification.

The cross-kind spread is the structural finding here: four of the top 10 neighbors are not musicians at all, and the similarity scores for those non-musicians (0.80–0.83) are only marginally below the fellow-musician cluster. This audience's shape is not defined by music fandom alone — it overlaps substantially with audiences drawn to actors, directors, comedians, and political figures from roughly the same generational cohort.
