Some Statistics

So Live and Loud! shows have been available for quite some time online and in early August I took all the downloads offline temporarily as I was moving all the files to a more accessible service. So I took the opportunity to do some counting up of how popular each show had been.  I thought you might be interested too! It also shows which shows there have been up to now in 1 place. No pretty graphics or anything, just a couple of tables.

As the new downloads are made available, no doubt some of this will change but I thought this was a good point to take a snapshot from.

Shows 46 - 57 were only available to stream on Mixcloud (no doubt some found a way to download them of course!) so any totals marked * include streaming figures. Oh, and original listening figures from the original internet radio broadcast aren't available as...no-one thought to collect them!

First up, the 20 most popular artists/bands to appear so far were these...

Artist/Band	No. of Shows	Total Downloads
Ultravox	4	1275*
Depeche Mode	5	1142*
Human League	1	1000*
Gary Numan	2	468
OMD	2	360
Japan	2	282
Kraftwerk	2	271
ABBA	1	255
Yazoo	1	244
Kate Bush	1	240*
A Flock of Seagulls	1	175*
Elvis Presley	1	160
Beatles	1	142
Bauhaus	2	139
Siouxsie and The Banshees	1	136*
Queen	1	135
Spandau Ballet	1	123
Eurythmics	1	122*
Simon and Garfunkel	1	120
Squeeze	1	112

So to that list of shows then and which were the popular ones? Remember those with a * were on Mixcloud only - all others were download only.
