Web lyrics stats

[Bryan Dongray <btd@cray.com>]

I thought everyone might be interested in some statistics I found
on my web server, specifically the references with Kates lyrics.

The numbers have been accumulated over about 10 months.

Top 10 viewed songs:
	802 Wuthering Heights [The Kick Inside]
	356 Experiment IV [Single]
	340 The Sensual World [The Sensual World]
	317 Running Up That Hill [Hounds Of Love]
	308 Mna Na h'Eireann [Common Ground Album]

	268 Babooshka [Demo - piano]
	247 Army Dreamers [Never For Ever]
	245 Cloudbusting [Hounds Of Love]
	243 Hounds Of Love [Hounds Of Love]
Amazing! Look at the #1 hit count compared to #2. It's over double!

Bottom 10 viewed songs:
	103 You Want Alchemy [Red Shoes CD Single]

Hmmm, most of those were demos, singles, and special mixes...

Bottom 10 view songs off main albums:

Stats accumlated by album:
	3907 Other (ie B-sides, mixes, etc)
	3781 Demo

	1891 Never For Ever
	1776 The Sensual World
	1742 The Dreaming
	1599 The Red Shoes
	1478 Lionheart
although since each album has a different number of tracks, here are
the stats by dividing the hit count by the track count for each album:
	204.77 The Kick Inside
	203.67 Hounds Of Love
	174.20 The Dreaming
	171.91 Never For Ever
	161.46 The Sensual World
	150.27 Other
	147.80 Lionheart
	133.25 The Red Shoes
	121.97 Demo
which may or may not be an appropriate way to look at the numbers.

Note *ALL* songs have been viewed, including instrumentals!

Yes I know I should get them onto gaffaweb, but gaffaweb already has
some pretty lyric pages there. My pages are just simple text which
does make them fast (due to no pictures).
I've also been updating them to be the lyrics as heard, not the lyrics
as printed - yes there is quite a difference. Remember my page also has
the word search available, quite fun!
