Interesting Statistics

While Greg is going through playing his cover tunes segment, I thought I would look through some interesting statistics. Granted, these interesting tidbits are taken from the songs we have played since Septemeber 2003.

48.7% of all songs played are requests!

Top 5 Most Requested Bands:
1. Slayer (surprise, surprise)
2. Cradle of Filth
3. Opeth
4. Iced Earth
5. Nevermore

Of course, Slayer's being number one might be a tad bit skewed, but we still get asked for them a lot. Seeing Cradle of Filth at number 2, however, was a bit of a surprise. That's why I look this things up, you never know what you'll find! B) The high percentage of requests is also quite pleasing. :m3t4l:

I think Tim is improving...slowly......ok, maybe really slowly........I think. We have been getting him to play requests, which has helped. Still, I think some bands could stand a week off.... (we made it through yesterday without playing any Therion! :3y3s:

)

Man, look at the playlist. It's not the same bands, it's the exact same songs! Ok, maybe not exact - sometimes they're spelled differently so they look like different songs in the playlists...

I don't have time right now, but I'll get some numbers later. The patterns are just jumping out all over the place. btw, people must be requesting the exact same stuff week after week. Perhaps, if that's true, someone should inject some judgement and steer things in a more interesting direction.

Here's the breakdown using the July30 selections as a base and using data between Jul30 2004 and Sep23 2003. The format goes like this: Band (song) - how many times he's played the exact song out of the number of times he's played that band - dates the exact song aired. Show me the improvement.

I don't see Slayer on your list Bob.

What's wrong, you don't have enough time to type that out?

Actually, Tim uses his time at the studio to check his email. Apparently, that's the only time he ever checks it.

I sent Tim a request for Pantera's Domination and he played Cowboys from Hell instead. Least it wasn't Slayer's South Of Heaven or Reigning Blood. The guy should play something that's Slayer that is not those 2 songs. :3y3s:

Greg · Post by **Greg** » Fri August 6th, 2004, 1:30 pm

You mean there is Slayer that isn't those two songs?

One week we should declare a moratorium on playing anything by Slayer... I predict about 50% less phone calls to the studio (or maybe 50% more calls asking what the fuck our problem is) and one very angry Tim.

Poor Tim.

And yeah, he uses his time at the station to check his email, because I refuse to allow him to check it here at the house. (Reason: at one time, Tim never met a pop-up window or an advert he wouldn't click on, and I got tired of unfreezing my machine, forced power-off shutdowns, spyware, malware, etc.)

In fairness to Tim, some of the bands he plays a lot of (like Pantera) have limited "safe" choices for airplay.

Pantera has a couple albums with a lot of foul-free songs. He could even go back to their phase1-poser days and play the glam shit (Diamond Darrell) (phase2 == Dimebag Darrell, tattooed bad boyz - still glam shit if you ask me just in a different wrapper/decade)

Besides, even if that were true I think that in all fairness there are a couple other metal bands out there that could be played instead of hearing the same clean song week after week....

More "unsafe" choices please. :wh4cky: :sm0k3: :3v1l:

btw Dan: you're not killing time, time is killing you.
