Charts
Across every album here
Most replayed non-singles
Each album’s most replayed non-single, ranked by its replays against what its reach, track position and length predict, with its plays per listener underneath. A ratio, not a count, so a big fanbase’s long catalogue doesn’t fill the list. Each artist appears once, with their highest-ranked album.
Deepest cuts
Each album’s deep cut (its most replayed track among those fewer of its listeners reach), by its plays per listener against its album’s typical track’s. A ratio, not a count, so a small album’s deep cut can lead. Each artist appears once, with their highest-ranked album.
Anthems that weren’t singles
Each album’s non-single that fans reach and replay more than its typical track, by its reach against the typical track’s: the fan singles. Each artist appears once, with their highest-ranked album.
Radio singles nobody replays
Singles more of an album’s listeners reached than its typical track, but replayed less: each album’s most-reached one, by its reach against the typical track’s. Each artist appears once, with their highest-ranked album.
Biggest sleeper hits
Non-singles, not the opener, ranked by how many of their album’s own singles they out-reach. Each artist appears once, with their highest-ranked album.
Deepest catalogues
Artists with at least three albums on a grid, by the share of their tracks in Deep cuts: fewer of the album’s listeners reach them than its typical track, and those who do replay them more. Each track counts once. The lines are medians, so this share rises as reach and replay move together less.
Deepest fanbases
Artists by median depth: non-singles’ share of the plays against their share of the tracklist. Most 2016 artists here have one album.
Most front-loaded albums
Albums ranked by the share of their plays that go to the first third of the tracklist. A third would be an even spread. Each artist appears once, with their highest-ranked album.
Singles that missed
Each album’s single that the fewest of its listeners reached, against its typical track’s reach. Only singles below the album’s typical reach are listed. Each artist appears once, with their highest-ranked album.
