I finished A-M of the 2019 songs - I actually didn't see that there was a non-2019 section and I don't know if TheLastEnemy did either.

Oh, I didn't see your post until now, acroamor. Thanks!!

New songs info - 2019 update.xlsI've done the rest, including the non-2019 section - here it is

Thank you so much, TheLastEnemy!!

One trouble I've run into (that I haven't yet come up with a solution for) is when the genre votes for a single contrast with the individual song genres on album pages. For example: ZZ Top - "Gimme All Your Lovin" Single: Hard Rock, Boogie Rock (secondaries: Pop Rock, New Wave) Album track: Hard Ro...

I made a spreadsheet with all the songs where people can add the genres, if they wanna just look for them on RYM. It's not something to be completed, just something for fun in case anyone wants to work on it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wK7zQlTQz_DkTFH_P5OCGo3BJy3BejtPOqktnAfwnBE/edit?u...

I can do alphabetical through M - the first half of the alphabet - if that works.

Absolutely. Thanks!

Could I please get some help to fill in this spreadsheet with information. Thye work could be split between several people, just let others know what you're planning to do. Thanks!

Everything going well with this? Is there any way I can be of assistance?
Please

As Harold wrote above, Kingoftonga is working on the spreadsheet now.

I think that’s what Sweepstakes Ron intended.

I think in some cases it's necessary to include a second or a third music genre especially when they're genres without the same parent, don't? Not sure what you mean. Could you give an example? For example: Rosalia's "Malamente" Using the data of RYM: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/rosali...

In Sweden we have become quite famous for still having open schools. So far we’re doing alright...and I think we’re doing the right thing. Closing schools would lead to 1. Reduced hospital staff because parents have to stay home and take care of their kids. 2. Grandparents at risk taking care of the...

Thanks Sweepstakes Ron!!

You can remove parent genres though, as it’s unnecessary work for people to collect this. I get that automatically through programming.

Actually... Henrik. can you produce a spreadsheet listing every song on AM along with their numerical IDs? I have something I want to try...

In the excel sheet on the history page the IDs are hidden in column A.

I think the results would have been different if you could have voted against several albums each week.

But thanks for a great game, Holden!

Waiting for reply. Ok, this is what I think you mean: By unusual you mean classic. Super unusual = super classic, very unusual = very classic. I suppose that super usual would then mean super unclassic, or totally unheard of? And Maurice Williams’ ”Stay” is totally unheard of on your radio today (1...

1 - Super Usual (for example: "Stay" by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs, Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that "Stay" is the only record on your list by a non-white act. For me it's a 9, and better than almost every other song you mentioned. Oh! But, I also rate it 9 from the previous rate of...

10-Incredible Awesome 9 - Great 8 - Excellent 7 - Very Good 6 - Good 5 - Pretty Good 4 - Okay 3 - Not Very Good 2 - Bad 1 - Terrible What if: 10-Super Unusual (for example: "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls, "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, and other songs) 9 - Very U...

This is something that has the highest priority for me, both for the possibility to make genre lists/playlists and because genre tags will improve the AM ranking formula. But I haven’t pushed for help for a couple of reasons. Primary reason: The genre tagging for albums uses information from rateyou...

Are any of these Paste lists by combined staff?

It appears as though James Holden is given two separate pages, one under Holden and one under James Holden

Pure coincidence that this error was found by you?

It would be interesting with a topic about artists/bands we like, who sing in English although it’s their second language but are still a lot more well known in their own countries (with or without an obvious ambition to crossover).

Revista O Grito and Les Inrockuptibles were included in earlier updates. With Diario Crítico, it has not been confirmed that it is not from a single critic.

Another (much delayed) update with Dancing Astronaut (USA), TheNeedleDrop (USA), Resident Advisor (UK), The Times (UK), Radionica (Colombia), Musikorner (Spain), De Standaard (Belgium - Belgian songs), Rolling Stone (Germany). Let me know if I've missed any sources. Current (final?) top 200: 1 (1) |...

Here is the ordered playlist.

If there’s a spreadsheet with both song ID and final ranking, I can generate an ordered spotify list quickly.

Thank you so much for this, Moonbeam! So much stats to look at.

I will certainly go back to this topic many times.

It’s been a blast for us all (evidently from all favorable comments)!

230. Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (108)

I assume this song had the highest polarisation index?

What happened to the song links on Spotify?
Weird, I have no clue. Maybe Henrik knows?

The playlist in this topic’s first post is visible to me. Was it just a temporary problem?

[78] The Cure - Lullaby

I will only love you more:
Henrik (1/300)
Nassim (1/300)

The "low" rank of Lullaby is much more surprising to me. But I think it's one of those bands where there's a big difference in the appreciation of the best songs between countries.

My number one.

But I’m very satisfied with The Cure’s results overall, so I’m not complaining.

[17] David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes

Hitting an all-time low:

FrankLotion (178/198)

Not an easy time for you, FrankLotion!

Fantastic result for ”A Forest”, with 13 voters in the top decile!

I thought there would be almost as many EOD 2010s lists as EOY 2019 lists, but apparently not. Therefore, I will loose up the EOD criteria a bit. Henrik, do you want I should compile all the non-included songs list here so you can more easily determine eligibility? I have already done that I think,...

Thank you so much for the hard work, Harold! Truly invaluable to me!!! Have you seen this list of potential additions to this spreadsheet? http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=7844&p=117237#p116865 I can go through and check if any of these lists are eligible, but wanted to chec...

This will be my final update for the year. Henrik will take over from here in case anything else comes up.

A late THANK YOU, Sweepstakes Ron!!! I would not be able to continue AM without this help.

Do you still have the diagrams for the trends of the Top 50

Yes, now they are up again. Only data up to 2014 though.

This Win/Loss matrix was then raised to the 8th power (as in the Album Ranking program), and the ratio of this matrix over its transpose determined the final points, after applying the natural logarithm. The effect of this is that each song is given credit not just for the songs it beats, but the s...

I noticed that my vote was for the wrong album, and I think it was because you removed ”Blonde on Blonde” and replaced it with Sign O the Times at the bottom. The votes stay with the rows, not with the titles.

Not sure if my search worked properly, but it indicated that "A Day In the Life" was not in the top 1000 songs in 2002.

That’s because only singles were included then.

Hey,
When can we discuss the eligibility of the new sources that haven't been included?

Ok, let’s do it. Which are they?

Sorry Romain, but I don’t think you (and me) represent the current generation. :whistle: This is a question I have not thought about before, but I find it very interesting. From a female perspective (and the time has finally come for women now) Billie breaks perhaps more ground than Nirvana ever did.

I do have counteracting methods! And yes, it happened to 2009 as well.

I will probably post another update in a few hours. Setherex, do you have time for an update of the playlist?

I didn’t get the time to do the update. Maybe Monday instead. Now I’m going on a skiing trip.
