This is kind of fun:

This journal post does not contain any reviews!

Apologies for it appearing in the reviews section of these gigs but I had no idea that last.fm is set up to do that simply because I linked to each gig from this journal post. This post is for my own reference really and it's taken too long to write it out for me to be bothered to take it down or remove the links.

I haven't done one of these since January... Oops! But I've got some new tracks which I just have to put out there! This is a kind of sum-up of my listening since the summer.

1. Missy Higgins - Where I Stood
   I discovered her through Spotify and listened on repeat for about a week, before choosing my favourites.
   
2. The Beautiful South - You Keep It All In
   My father got me to listen to them, and I haven't stopped. Great sound, dark lyrics.
   
3. Editors - In This Light And On This Evening
   Randomly found through Spotify again, litterly I just clicked on an ad (not something I normally do) and I know they'll be pushing me through NaNoWriMo.
   
4. Reel Big Fish - Kiss Me Deadly
   Something recommended to me by my bf.
   
5. Elvis Costello - Welcome To The Working Week
   Lastly, I was being told to listen to him for over a year til I finally did, and I love it.

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.








Здесь - никаких сюрпризов, лидируют всем известные персонажи: Britney Spears, Madonna, Michael Jackson. Слушают мэйнстримный поп довольно бодро: миллионы слушателей, десятки миллионов прослушиваний.

There's no surprise here, well-known persons Britney Spears, Madonna and Michael Jackson are the leaders. The mainstream pop is rather popular: millions of listeners, dozens of millions of plays.




А вот из этого графика видно, что четверка лидеров довольно сильно отрывается от основной массы. Любопытно.
Далее - график удельного числа прослушиваний для поп-исполнителей.

From the last plot we can see, that the four leaders are rather far from the main massive of artists. Interesting.
The next one is the chart of specific number of scrobbles for pop artists.




А вот здесь забавно. Лидирует поп-панк группа McFly с удельным числом прослушиваний 48.5, при среднем значении 18. На втором месте опять Britney Spears с 44 песнями на слушателя.

And here the things go funny. Pop-punk band McFly leads the chart with specific number of scrobbles 48.5, when the average value is 18. Britney Spears with 44 plays per listener takes the second place.




Несколько необычно выглядит гистограмма распределения по удельному числу прослушиваний: плато вблизи среднего значения резко обрывается как с той, так и с другой стороны.

The distribution through specific number of scrobbles looks a bit surprising: a plateau near the average breaks toughly from both sides.




Сам по себе график зависимости активности в рупоре от числа слушателей ничего особо интересного из себя не представляет. Интересно то, что в рупоре поп-исполнителей содержится поистине огромное число сообщений. Особенно отличилась Britney Spears.

The graph of shoutbox activity to number of listeners is nothing interesting itself. The really interesting thing is a terribly high number of messages in pop artists' shoutboxes. Britney Spears is especially notable.




А вот здесь я вновь вижу подтверждение того, что только исполнители с удельным числом прослушиваний выше среднего могут иметь много сообщений в рупоре. Этот эффект наблюдался уже в трех довольно разных жанрах.

And here I see the effect of "potential barrier" again: only artists with more-than-average number plays per listener can have a lot of shouts. I've already seen the effect for three rather different genres.

P.S. Суммарное число прослушиваний в pop-top-100 - больше миллиарда.
The total playcount in pop-top-100 is a bit more, than one billion.

I haven't any good albums in this year! There is Violator by Depeche Mode and Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches by Happy Mondays, but I haven't listened to them much... I'll update year 1990 later. (But it's interesting, that in years 1997 or 1995 I really didn't know which album to choose, cos there was awful lot of great albums!)
