I may be wrong, but it looks like that is just a raw word count, not a count of individual words. If I am correct, it would be interesting to see the figures for total number of words used (i.e.: don't count repeats). My bet is that the difference would shrink because modern pop is so freakin' repetitive. And often has much less to say.
I am actually surprised by these figures because of my least favourite aspect of modern pop vocals; that is, the insistence–particularly among female vocalists–to turn each syllable into three or four or twenty-seven. I'd like to see a syllable count comparison.
