AMF Weekly Chart - Statistics

Post by TheLastEnemy »

Hi all

I've been doing a 'deep dive' into the AMF Top 10 Charts since they began in February 2014, and thought I'd share the stats with you over the next few days.

To start with, here are some overall figures:

Number of songs which have made the Top Ten: 811
Number of artists who have made the Top Ten: 450

Number of songs which have made Number One: 124
Number of artists who have made Number One: 82

Number of songs which have made the Hall of Fame: 197
Number of artists who have made the Hall of Fame: 130

Lots more to follow!

Most Hall of Fame Entries

Note: In the very early days, songs could stay on the chart for an unlimited period, then the Hall of Fame was established after a track had been on the chart for 10 weeks. This was very briefly reduced to 5, before settling at 8 which it is now. For the purposes of these statistics I have awarded HoF entry to any track which managed 8 weeks or more, but given the few 5-weekers the benefit of the doubt.

Acts with 1 Hall of Fame entry
Agnes Obel
Alabama Shakes
alt-J
Alvvays
Angel Olsen
