The Beatles and Pink Floyd, sure....but Linkin Park?
Gracenote, the database that software like iTunes uses to grab title and track info, now has an interactive Flash map showing what groups and albums are popular in any given state or country. The amazing thing I learned is how popular the Beatles and Pink Floyd still are, despite their, shall we say, inactivity. Linkin Park is also quite popular across the globe (whaaa?).
The map is a nice example of how you can show a large amount of data in an understandable fashion. I wish there was some way of typing in a band or album name and having the map display relative popularity from country to country...as it stands now, you can only roll over one country at a time and view those stats by themselves. Why not have a color- or intensity-coding scheme tied to specific artist popularity?Labels: flash, music, visual information
