It's not just metal!

A scatter plot showing metal vs. non-Metal bands per capita over the world. There is a strong correlation showing if a country makes a lot of metal bands per capita, they'll make a lot of music in general too.

How many covers before an album is a "cover album"? Here is a #histogram of the % of songs on albums that are covers.

Do you consider cover albums as part of a band's primary releases? A short discussion on this and more:

Decided to try recreating my #Metal vs. Non-Metal Artists per million chart in #python and went way overboard labeling every country. I wanted to share this one again because of the strong correlation it shows. Nordics produce a lot of music in general, not just metal!

Something I can share regarding #metal artist connections is a histogram showing how often artists play in the same band. The majority (~94%) only ever work with other people in one band. At least 8 people have worked with the same person in 13 bands!

It may not be getting better 😞
A plot depicting the percentage of metal bands that have ever had at least one woman by year of first release over time. The percentage is decreasing in recent years.

Why can't I embed a spreadsheet that retains frozen rows/columns and allows visitors to sort columns?

Why can't I freeze headers/the first row in flourish tables?

How will I share this info?
A spreadsheet showing album counts if labels vs. subgenre but it's ugly and you can't touch it because I don't know how to do that well.

Every time this joke shows up
Wheeze meme showing person uninterested in data on metal bands per capita, but then laughing at a comment about metal bands meaning wedding rings.
