Each week I list the top 15 Chez Musinum connected artists who appear on our group charts, extending the list to include any ties. The bottom tier is given one point for the week, and each additional listener counts as an additional point.

Let's say there is a six-way tie for 13th place one week, at four listeners. Since the next tier would start at 19th place, those 6 artists are the bottom tier and get one point apiece. Those with five listeners would get 2 points, and those with ten listeners would get 7 points. If the bottom tier is at three listeners the following week, that tier would get 1 point and ten listeners would be worth 8 points.

The monthly score is just the sum of the weekly scores. (Note that even though an artist who gets points one week may have one or more listeners in another week, those won't count unless the rank is 15 or higher.)

Two more lists are produced, one for albums and one for tracks, following similar rules, with one difference:

Instead of including the entire last tier when it would extend past 15 items, I omit that tier. In other words, rather than at least 15, I use at most 15. In the example above, with a 6-way tie for 13th place among albums or tracks, I would include only the top 12. The reason for this is that with albums and tracks, the list flattens out very quickly, so you can have something like a thirty-way tie for 11th place... compounding that is the fact that there's not as much consistency from week to week in album and especially track plays, so that each week tends to add a lot of new items. Thus with the rules the same, we end up with perhaps 30 artists, 50 albums, and 100 tracks. This change keeps the lists manageable and meaningful.

Note there is a change this month in the way I handle albums and tracks, which were getting out of hand in terms of length of lists (well over 100 tracks last month!) Details are below.

The weekly journal entries were getting too time-consuming, so I decided to do a monthly summary instead, not omitting anyone who would have been in the weekly summaries.

Congrats everybody! Don't touch that dial!

The weekly journal entries were getting too time-consuming, so I decided to do a monthly summary instead, not omitting anyone who would have been in the weekly summaries.

Each week I list the top 15 Chez Musinum connected artists who appear on our group charts, extending the list to include any ties. The bottom tier is given one point for the week, and each additional listener counts as an additional point.

Let's say there is a six-way tie for 13th place one week, at four listeners. Since the next tier would start at 19th place, those 6 artists are the bottom tier and get one point apiece. Those with five listeners would get 2 points, and those with ten listeners would get 7 points. If the bottom tier is at three listeners the following week, that tier would get 1 point and ten listeners would be worth 8 points.

The monthly score is just the sum of the weekly scores. (Note that even though an artist who gets points one week may have one or more listeners in another week, those won't count unless the rank is 15 or higher.)

Two more lists are produced, one for albums and one for tracks, following the same rules. Nothing which would have appeared on a weekly report is left out.
