The site with the article won’t load but going by what I can see it’s more than second and third combined (Idol from Oshi no Ko S1 and Kick Back from Chainsaw Man S1), which is a little odd. It’s worth noting that just about every other entry on the list a shounen, lots from extremely recent shows. Perhaps the band itself has a large fanbase I’m unaware of, because Lain is imo pretty niche.
I’m surprised “Cruel Angel’s Thesis” isn’t higher on the list. I’d say Lain isn’t niche, it’s just old. It’s one of the best-remembered anime of its era.
