Thanks for doing the stats, xandox.

Yeah, you rock : )

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by this stat: "The number of artists [who] have uploaded a track every week without fail since the start of Week 1 has now lowered to 50. This is 37.31% of the original 134 artists in week 1 and only 21.10% of the 237 artists overall." I'm a bit slow when it comes to maths and not sure I follow (or perhaps I do but need it said in plainer English). Thank you!

The (awesome) people who haven't missed a week: 50
Of the people who uploaded on the first week, 37% haven't missed a week yet (Club 50 woot woot)
Of anyone who has uploaded a song here for any week, 21% haven't missed a week.
(better? Or no...)

The average length of each track is 3 minutes 34 seconds. This is the same as last week's average length of 3 minutes 34 seconds.

Is it? Is it really?

I'm sure if it weren't for your week #14 submission the average length would have gone waaaaaaaay down.

Here is an update of the statistics based on submissions up to week 14.

I have worked them out based on the RSS feed linked with my iTunes account. I've now worked out these are definitely not 100% perfect as iTunes does some wierd maths calculating track lengths. There's a mix of numbers from iTunes as well as some Excel stuff. Well anyway...

There have been 237 Individual Artists that have uploaded a song to WeeklyBeats. This is up by 3 from week 13.

So far there have been 1759 tracks uploaded to the site. The time to listen to all the music continuously would take 4 days, 08 hours, 32 minutes and 11 seconds.

Here is a breakdown of uploaded tracks on a week-by-week basis:

Week 1 - 134 tracks - 8 hours, 9 minutes and 12 seconds
Week 2 - 147 tracks - 8 hours, 40 minutes and 14 seconds
Week 3 - 147 tracks - 9 hours, 10 minutes and 11 seconds
Week 4 - 150 tracks - 9 hours, 2 minutes and 41 seconds
Week 5 - 143 tracks - 9 hours, 21 minutes and 46 seconds
Week 6 - 137 tracks - 7 hours, 49 minutes and 51 seconds
Week 7 - 130 tracks - 7 hours, 28 minutes and 36 seconds
Week 8 - 127 tracks - 7 hours, 22 minutes and 24 seconds
Week 9 - 125 tracks - 7 hours, 30 minutes and 13 seconds
Week 10 - 114 tracks - 6 hours, 57 minutes and 48 seconds
Week 11 - 115 tracks - 6 hours, 16 minutes and 15 seconds
Week 12 - 101 tracks - 5 hours, 47 minutes and 45 seconds
Week 13 - 95 tracks - 5 hours, 15 minutes and 16 seconds
Week 14 - 94 tracks - 5 hours, 39 minutes and 59 seconds

This works out to an average of 125.64 uploaded tracks a week. This is down from average 128.08 tracks in the previous week.

There is an average time of 7 hours, 28 minutes and 01 seconds a week. This is down from 7 hours, 36 minutes and 19 seconds from the previous week.

The average length of each track is 3 minutes 34 seconds. This is the same as last week's average length of 3 minutes 34 seconds.

The highest number of tracks in a week was in Week 4 with 150 uploads. 63.29% of all artists uploaded a track in this week.

The lowest number of tracks in a week was in Week 14 with 94 uploads. 39.66% of all artists uploaded a track in this week.

The largest week by length to date has been week 5 with 9 hours, 21 minutes and 46 seconds.

The shortest week by length to date has been week 13 with 5 hours, 15 minutes and 16 seconds.

The number of artists have uploaded a track every week without fail since the start of Week 1 has now lowered to 50. This is 37.31% of the original 134 artists in week 1 and only 21.10% of the 237 artists overall.
