Why are "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark" drastically more scrobbled than Dio's other songs? Dio has so many awesome songs!!! :)

For some reason, "Holy Diver" was moved to a different profile called Dio. It was a dumb move, and Dio now appears twice in my profile. Meh, I don't really care about Spotify's statistics, since a lot of them don't make sense.
