Amazing facts and music

The variety of musical interests' of Swift students is shown through the graphs and charts outside Ms. Gamble's room. The data that shows what kinds of music we prefer fits in well with the circle graph and bar graph displays. Other types of music facts such as specific information about favorite albums, songs, the number of awards, or how long a song remains popular can be interesting to check out too. Some of these facts can best be shown on graphs with types of averages- box and whisker plots, changes over time- line graphs, and relationships between data- scatter plots.

One website where music data from all genres is shown is called All Music. This website gives a plethora of updated facts on musicians. The link above shows the band "Sugar Ray" from the 90's and early 2000's. In addition to some amazing numbers the website gives the bands history and links to other bands that are similar.

What links to musicians have you found on the Internet? A band's website, Face book page, or a music station like All Music that has lots of different bands?
