Song Statistics
Introduction
In the past, my weekly charts had more information, such as songs'
total weeks and peak positions. That is absent from them now, but, I didn't
eliminate that information entirely. Instead, I now feature it in this
stats
section, which:
- Contains records of songs charting from January 2004 to now
- Keeps my weekly charts simple for those who like it so
- Allows those interested in additional song data, to access it all in this 1 section
- Reduces duplication of info from week to week
- Promotes smaller file sizes and faster loading of my weekly charts
- Stats for all songs: Regular (100+ KB file) | Alternate
- Quick Stats For All Songs
- Stats for my current Top 50: Regular | Alternate
- Quick Stats For Songs Charting This Year So Far
- Longetivty Champs (Top 50 longest lasting songs on my weekly chart)
- Sortable by any yellow column heading (each becomes a clickable link)
- Split into portions, each containing 15 or fewer rows, plus the heading rows
- Navigable in those portions, via a generated pagination list above the table
- Darker blue represents mainstream songs (that likely don't receive Christian radio airplay)
- Lighter blue, songs that receive Christian airplay
- My chart records prior to January 2004 are incomplete, so wherever you see "?" or otherwise inexact data for a song, you can safely assume some of the other data for the song is an estimation
- Some song titles in the regular versions appear as backgrounded links, signifying they've made noteworthy achievements on my weekly chart; mouse over on them or "tab" to them to show the achievements, but, don't click on them, as that'll just reload the page
- I might not always update my stats section weekly, like I try my best to do with my normal weekly charts.
- Internet Explorer users, while you're browsing the All Songs chart with JavaScript enabled, your scrollbar may indicate a long page, as if all the songs were listed on just 1 page. I'm not sure why that happens, but in any case, you may stop scrolling after reading the 15th song.
- Finally, if the table in the regular versions appears cramped at your monitor resolution or window size, especially if you're using the left hand navigation bar, feel free to access the smaller, alternate versions, which are in list format, and use no JavaScript
