Graphs & Statistics

It wouldn't be a SPB year end feature without some nerdy data. Enjoy.

Album review score breakdown

graph.png

This one is somewhat complex but makes for interesting reading. Each coloured area of the bars represents a group of album ratings from SPB - from light to dark it goes 0-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-10. The bigger that section of the bar, the more albums were rated in that score group. Each bar represents a year. We can see that 2010 has around double the number of high scoring (9-10) albums compared to 2009. Before that, the best year of the last 5 was in 2006. Do you agree? Let us know!

Here's one more graph for old time's sake. It's self explanatory.
