It's the box plot I mentioned last week, based on the data in the post above it. I just uploaded it 3 times, in case one site loses the image or gets blocked.

Basically you can see which albums are getting carried by one song.

Great. I would have expected Dangerous and History to be higher, but Thriller overshadows everything. Would need a separate scale or scale break :p how about exscape?
The middle is median and whiskers min and max? Because that varies.
Now it would be interesting to compare these Spotify data to other platforms in a figure. In case you're bored šŸ˜‰
You motivate me to try upload the timeline I created months ago. I couldn't figure out how to post it back then.

BINGO! Mission accomplished.

It's exactly what I've been saying for about 6 months. Dropping in random abstract numbers one at a time is boring and unduscussable. But if you actually do something interesting to present the data in a new or visual way, it makes people curious, and creates conversation. Talking about it is the whole point of a discussion board.

Yeah, pretty much it's just Billie Jean that skews everything because it's way more more than double every other song.

I just used the first free tool on Google, so it didn't have log scale or anything. Maybe if I do another version I'll just delete that song so you can see the lower end a bit clearer.

I just did the real albums. Hopefully somebody else will take the idea and do those.

That's right.

Exactly. You see what I mean? Now you want to discuss, you're curious for more, etc.

Isn't that much better than page after page of bullshit with no replies in between?

By all means go ahead šŸ˜ƒ
