Decade Songs - Stats and Trivia

A few little stats before the top ten tomorrow.



I don't think anyone can be surprised by the "solo female" category dominating my chart, really. It would be slightly higher if I'd categorised Poppy correctly, rather than according to her gimmick (she is the sole AI entrant).

This was interesting to review. Apparently there were some fallow years in the early part of the decade. I wonder if this is down to me starting to compile my list in 2017, and recency bias playing a part? Certainly this year there were very few new songs to topple established ones - as the list was pretty much set in stone two thirds of the way through the year that left less time for 2019 to make its mark.

This was more for my own curiosity than anything else! It looks like March is a good month for new releases, a strong showing through spring and early summer, then dropping off in the Christmas period.
