Well I'm nearly at 10000 plays and it took me a year to make it there. Seeing as it's been a year and I got a lot of plays, I figured I'd make little awards based on my charts. Feel free to post your own as well:
The "oldy" award: (Artist I've been listening to the longest)
Deep Forest (10 years)
Runner up - Gorillaz
The "newbie" award: (Most recent artist)
Thievery Corporation (about 5 weeks)
Runner up - Pendulum
The Number 1 award: (Artist that has/had the 1st spot the longest)
Venetian Snares (The whole time)
Runner up - U-ziq and The Flashbulb (technically 2nd if you add Flexe and Acidwolf)
The "Stick out" award: (One of the top artist with an odd genre)
Koji Kondo (Only non-electronic artist up there)
Runner up - Rare
The "kick-***" award: (Artist most likely to eventually rank above Venetian Snares)
Boards of Canada (Fastest growing play count currently)
Runner up - Wagon Christ
The "Bye bye" award: (Artist most likely to drop out of my charts soon)
Amon Tobin (30 plays at most in the past 8 months)
Runner up - Queen (Sorry, Omni)
The "Productive" award: (Artist I have the most album by him/her)
Venetian Snares (27)
Runner up- U-ziq (12)
Honorable mentions to:
U-ziq: For keeping a 2nd place almost the whole time.
Aphex Twin: Fairly recent yet 3rd and 2nd a very few times.
Flexe: Only 1 album of 12 songs and 160 plays.
I:Cube: Made the song I listened to the most often: Adore, 51 times.
Alcest, Darkthrone and Cocteau Twins: 3 odd-genred artists that are sticking out in my charts.
Cuevox: In my charts with only 5 songs, 70 plays.
Alcest: 8 songs, 2 little albums only and above 100 plays
That's all I could think of for now. Might add some more later.
I'm almost to 15,000 plays. I'm lazy, so I won't be doing the awards.
I have no idea how to tabulate these. Though I have 36,584
Artist with the most longevity: Blind Guardian
Most recent addition: Dimension Zero
Number one: Nine Inch Nails, but that's a result of leaving them looping a while ago, so it's actually Between the Buried and Me. Used to be Machinae Supremacy, before I nuked my charts.
Out-of-place artist: Mew is number fifteen. They're Danish indie rock, lost in a crowd of my more standard fare.
Artist growing in prominence: Pink Floyd
Neglected artist: In Flames
Most space-sucking artist: Dream Theater (28 albums), then Ulver (15 albums)
Oldy: 3 Doors down
New guys: Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori
Top dog: Porcupine Tree
Oddball: Looking at my top 15 it'd probably be 3 Doors Down.
Up and comer: John Wesley's lookin to take more spots
Falling off: O.A.R.
Prolific: Dream Theater or Porcupine Tree
The "oldy" award: (Artist I've been listening to the longest)
Breaking Benjamin (Six years IIRC)
Though it's AC/DC if you count hearing them thanks to my dad as a kid. I didn't start "listening" to them until later, though.
The "newbie" award: (Most recent artist)
Bonnie Pink (This week)
The Number 1 award: (Artist that has/had the 1st spot the longest)
Machinae Supremacy (Ages.)
Runner up: Koji Kondo (Currently in 3rd because of Brawl, though.)
The "Stick out" award: (One of the top artist with an odd genre)
Don't think I have one.
The "kick-***" award: (Artist most likely to eventually rank above Machinae Supremacy)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Yes, I count this as an artist.)
The "Bye bye" award: (Artist most likely to drop out of my charts soon)
Out of the top 15? Probably Cake, who happen to be in 15th right now.
Runner Up: The Presidents of the United States of America
The "Productive" award: (Artist I have the most album by)
Machinae Supremacy (7)
Rare of me to keep any complete albums, hence the low number.
