Actually, where did this statistics come from ...
In early March, a topic about our
service was published on Habré. It is proposed to register and select artists whose work you are interested in (this is the basis of the service logic).
After the publication of the topic came the so-called “habroeffect” and within a few days the attendance of the service increased many times due to visitors coming from Habr.
The first 1000 registered users during the Habro Effect period (the first 4 days) were taken as the sample under study. On the first day, attendance of the service was 10 times higher than usual, on the 4th day - only 2 times. The error that registered visitors did not come from Habr on these days was considered acceptable. By the way, in the usual time for 4 days 25-35 people are registered.

PS I ask you not to troll the results, it’s still a statistic, albeit an approximate one. Keep in mind that the popularity of a performer is determined not so much by his talent, as by fame and majority loyalty to him. I have no doubt that you will call with a dozen groups more interesting than those in the 20-ku, but ask yourself the question - who besides you remembers at least one song of the performer from your dozen ...
