FINALLY... two relatively uninterrupted hours of friendster-time while all the West Coast people are sleeping off their Friday night partying :-) . .. here are some stats from the Friendsterwhore Institute of Statistical Trends (F.I.S.T.) on the favourite music of Friendsters (hey, what good is a network of 2.1 million friendsters if you can't learn something from it???). Keep in mind that I couldn't do some searches: words too short ("U2", "Mya"), or words too common ("Michael Jackson", "James Brown"), or just plain ambiguity ("Elvis" pulls up both "Elvis Presley" and "Elvis Costello"; "Pink" also pulls up "Pink Floyd"). Radiohead: 65,131 Coldplay: 43,022 The Beatles: 37,898 Bjork: 30,673 Linkin Park: 23,971 The Pixies: 21,790 The Smiths: 20,892 Johnny Cash: 19,674 Weezer: 19,672 Eminem: 19,235 David Bowie: 19,173 Madonna: 19,144 John Mayer: 19,000 The White Stripes: 18,480 The Rolling Stones: 16,563 Bob Marley: 16,015 Outkast: 15,995 Beck: 15,824 Bob Dylan: 15,365 Nirvana: 15,319 Justin Timberlake: 13,233 Frank Sinatra: 13,019 Norah Jones: 12,928 Belle and Sebastian: 12,715 The Doors: 11,534 Prince: 11,257 Red Hot Chili Peppers: 11,065 Ani diFranco: 10,852 Sigur Ros: 10,485 Missy Elliott: 8,669 Britney Spears: 7,470 Christina Aguilera: 7,057 Death Cab for Cutie: 6,961 Johann Sebastian Bach: 6,378 Sting: 6,356 Oasis: 6,018 Sarah McLachlan: 6,017 Phish: 6,000 Liz Phair: 5,978 Ludwig van Beethoven: 5,976 Dixie Chicks: 5,865 Blink-182: 5,824 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: 5,814 Dido: 5,573 Joni Mitchell: 5,564 Moby: 5,189 Beyonce Knowles: 5,008 The Shins: 4,990 Marvin Gaye: 4,981 Avril Lavigne: 4,958 Elton John: 4,560 Fleetwood Mac: 4,484 Bruce Springsteen: 4,158 The Grateful Dead: 4,093 Frederic Francois Chopin: 4,032 Simon and Garfunkel: 3,608 Kylie Minogue: 3,539 Patsy Cline: 3,344 ABBA: 3,267 Aaliyah: 3,194 Celine Dion: 3,187 Dolly Parton: 2,813 The Eagles: 2,718 Aretha Franklin: 2,645 Cher: also 2,645 Mary J.
