Is it any wonder Rihanna won the title of most repetitive artist in the dataset? Over half a dozen of her songs sit on the far right of the distribution (including, appropriately, Pon de Replay). Love song or not, this is a great song to blast in the car with the windows down. Cole and Eminem tend to be consistently non-repetitive. I think I hit the bottom when my wife left me while I was on the road. 
Interestingly, her two least repetitive songs are arguably the only two that don't belong to the pop genre: they're both from the musical Evita, and written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Madonna has a long, consistent legacy of highly repetitive music. 4 of her 5 most repetitive songs are from 1989. This data adds some flavour to that claim. 
People have described 1989 as the album where Taylor Swift fully transitioned from country singer/songwriter to popstar. 
A few interesting examples (click an artist's name to jump to their chart): You can search for your favorite artist in the dropdown above. On average, Gwen's music is extremely repetitive, but there's a wide spread between the incessantly repetitive "Hollaback Girl", and the laid-back ballad "Cool", which is far less repetitive than the median song in the dataset.
