Hmm.. But the definition of "Utaite" itself is really broad. On NND, it basically just means anyone who sings. What makes an Utaite famous is that they're good at singing or their voice fits the songs they sing. It also depends on whether the song is popular or not. But on YT, it depends on other stuff such as frequency of uploads and how much audience interaction the singer has. [Like singers who tend to respond to their audience and become friends with them tend to be more popular than those who don't.] It also depends on if they're professional or not. If you're a legit pro and sing for a living [such as Rockleetist], you will definitely earn more views because you have that "pro" title. On NND, it's different. Half the time the singer won't talk to their audiences and many of them don't sing for a living. [Utaite such as Pokota are exceptions though.]
