one-hit wonders detector mashup

xurde — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 18:52:24 +0000

Do you remember all those big big hits that smashed your head for a never ending year in all the radios all over the world? Most of them fell inmediatly in to ostracism punished by the cruelty of the hustle and bustle of music markets. Well, from then on, those forgotten hits became “One-Hit Wonder”

I’ve been developing a little experimental mashup for detecting and ranking these “wonders”. The idea is getting the data from the most popular social musical tracking platform, Last.fm. Catching music listening data from Last.fm guarantees the hit is really a One-Hit Wonder and not only for the commercial billboard including/excluding criteria.

The ranking is calculated with a very simple ratio done with the division of the most listened song of an artist and the average of the other 9 in his top ten songs. This gives an idea about the difference of popularity between the hit and the other songs.

Give it a try and try to add all the unlisted artists you can remind!

Cuelgo un artículo sobre frameworks web recientemente publicado en la PC-Actual de Octubre.
Tengo que decir para mi justa redención que algunos titulares, entradillas y fotos un tanto faltos de rigor no estaban en el documento que yo envié, pero también es justo decir que está mejor maquetado.
