Статистика, часть 5: джаз // Stats, part 5: jazz
Ago 20 2009, 16h15 por -273C
Очередной пост, посвященный статистике. Сегодня нашей темой является джаз (точнее, топ-100 тега jazz).
Just another one statistical post. Jazz is our field of research today (top-100 of the tag jazz, to be exact).
предыдущие посты / previous entries
mainstream
russian rock
progressive rock
black metal
Сначала наше традиционное упорядочение по количеству прослушиваний и слушателей.
First of all, our traditional arrangement with respect to number of plays and number of listeners.
И тут, и там наиболее популярным исполнителем является Amy Winehouse (и, да, по личным соображениям я убрал из статистики Тома Уэйтса). Дальше начинается вполне классический джаз - Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong и так далее.
In both cases the most popular artist is Amy Winehouse (and, yes, I supposed it would be correct to exclude Tom Waits from jazz stats). Then the things go more classical: Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and so on.
Pic. 3
А вот так выглядит общая зависимость количества прослушиваний джазовых исполнителей от числа слушателей. Заметно, что чем правее, тем сильнее эта зависимость идет вверх. Таким образом, получается, что лидеры находятся на каком-то особенном положении у слушателей.
And that's the way, general dependence of playcount to number of listeners looks like. You can notice, it's bending upwards with growing number of listeners. So, that means, the leaders of our statistics are treated by listeners in a different way, than other artists.
Это также подтверждается графиком удельного числа прослушиваний (число прослушиваний делить на число слушателей для каждого исполнителя). Вообще, у джаза этот показатель оказался рекордно низким - в среднем 11 прослушиваний. Наибольший показатель у вездесущей Эми Уайнхаус - 32.
The graph of specific number of scrobbles (a playcount divided by number of listeners for each artist) confirms that notation. Surprisingly, jazz artists have very low specific scrobble number - 11 in average. Amy Winehouse has the highest one - 32.
Pic. 5
Гистограмма лишь подтверждает печальный факт концентрации удельного числа прослушиваний вблизи рекордно низких значений, в целом по форме повторяя распределение для других жанров. Джаз умер?
The histogram just supports concentrating of specific number of scrobbles near very low values, repeating the histogram for other genres in general. Sad, but true. Is jazz dead?
Pic. 6
Немного статистики по активности слушателей в рупорах исполнителей. Как видно из графика, какой-либо строгой зависимости числа сообщений в рупоре от числа слушателей не наблюдается. То, что более популярным исполнителям больше пишут, понятно и так. Кстати, Эми Уайнхаус я сюда не включил - взглянув на следующий график, вы поймете, почему.
Some stats about the user activity in shoutboxes. As one can see, there's no strict dependence of number of shouts to number of listeners. It's obvious, that more popular artists should get more shouts. By the way, Amy Winehouse isn't included here - see the next plot to understand why.
Pic.7
А вот зависимость числа сообщений в рупоре от удельного числа прослушиваний. Эми Уайнхаус и здесь лидирует, причем с шестикратным отрывом. Короче говоря, для джаза она - исполнитель, аномальный по всем параметрам) А вот если убрать Эми, то будет видно обнаруженое ранее явление: среднее удельное число прослушиваний является чем-то вроде барьера, разделяющего исполнителей с малым и с большим числом сообщений в рупоре. Посмотрим, что покажут другие жанры)
And here's the dependence of number of shouts in the shoutbox to specific number of scrobbles. Amy Winehouse takes the lead again, having six times more shouts than others. So, she's really anomalous for the jazz. And without Amy, the graph exhibits the property, found in previous research: average specific number of scrobbles behaves like a barrier, separating artists with few shouts from artists with lots of them. Let us see, what another genres would show us the next time)
P.S. Суммарное число прослушиваний в top-100 джаза - 348 миллионов.
The total playcount in jazz's top-100 is 348 millions.

Ruckus Collective
The band really took off in 2008, playing over 30 gigs (actually only up til August/September), visiting a few different cities and recording a full-length studio album, Stop, Drop, Dance!, during a crazy period after uni exams in June. Earlier in the year we also self-produced a five-track EP, Rise Of The Ruckusaurus. Apart from that I played the odd function gig here and there around Bristol, and plenty of jams - always good fun.

21/12/08 - Live: Moscow City Jazz Festival 2008 [AAJ]
Broadcasting
While I was in Bristol, I had a weekly show on BURST Radio called Off The Hook. It was a really cool experience and I played a lot of different tunes, as well as being joined by several guests from the local music scene. I won't go into detail here, as this is already too long, but you can see the myspace page for info and playlists. [Some of my friends have taken it over this year, as I'm not attending uni at the moment, so tune in!]
Many thanks to anyone who's had a look at this post - all the best wishes for Christmas and the New Year!
peace,
frederick -
