Music Pies

Can you think of a more useless page? It may not be important to anyone to see just how much larger one record label is over another, but, hey, I have this nifty graphing package with nifty pie graphs, so what the heck.
[__] Click to collapse Resize Pop Top 10 Labels
Here is a pie showing the top ten record labels

[__] Click to collapse Resize Pop Top 10 Album_types
This pie displays the popularity of the various album types, as reported by Amazon.

[__] Click to collapse Resize Pop Top 10 Years
For some reason, it might have been neat to see how popular each year was, but it wasn't

[__] Click to collapse Resize Pop Format distribution
This pie displays the popularity of the various formats. Is MP3 the most popular? A personal version of this pie is available on your homepage (if you're registered)

[__] Click to collapse Resize Pop Genres
This pie displays the popularity of top ten genres. "Rock" annoyingly and predictably grabs the top spot.

[__] Click to collapse Resize Pop Tag Distribution
While font-size and tag-clouds are clever ways to show which tags are most popular, this gives the empiricle weight.

1990 was a big year?

It is unusual. I suspect one of the users just happens to have a ton of 1990 songs, and there's still few enough songs that it's statistically significant. Someday, these posts may not make any sense.

			 I do like that the 1990 kind of broke the boring trend of the slight decrease every time without ever having a job in year.  I can't think of anything all that significant in 1990 otherwise.  Maybe if it was a few years into the '90's, like halfway.  You know, when grunge and alternative exploded and all that.  I was a big Nirvana fan in middle school.  Still am, just don't listen to them nearly as often.

			 I'm surprised by the Album types...  "Import" is the leader, and everything else is like 'remastered'.  Doesn't anyone just release normal stuff?  "Original Recording"?

			 Yeah, I'm finding the results extremely strange.  The first thing I thought to question was definitely that only 8.88% had explicit lyrics.  That should probably be the largest piece of the pie.  Does that only come up when you buy an album in the iTunes Music store and "Explicit" shows up in all caps in red and in a read box?  That would make the most sense.  I don't think albums otherwise are coded to say whether or not they contain explicit lyrics.

			 1990 fell off the top ten.  It's now precisely in descending order.  No sign of '08 yet.

			 I've been working hard on the tags...perhaps I'll take another hour or two this weekend to keep going.  But before I got to being a lvl 3 user, I couldn't do much but "misspelled" or "Fiveos22 Collection".

			 Now that you're level 4, you can create/edit articles.  You might be able to contribute to the Tagging Philosophies article.
