  • Some observations:

    1) It is a weird comparison. Some works (e.g: Brandenburg Concertos) can take hours to listen. Most take minutes.

    2) Lord of the Rings, Out of Africa and Star War series? Seriously? Oh, I see: it is a list made by Australians.

    3) I suspect that even Ennio Morricone wouldn't say that "The Mission" soundtrack is classical, although he made some classical music too.

    4) I'd recommend some Latin American composers: Villa-Lobos and Camargo Guarnieri (Brazil), Ginastera (Argentina), Carlos Chavez and Arturo Marquéz (Mexico).

  • What happened in 2001 that Marriage of Figaro was listed twice?

    This was really neat to explore! Thanks!

  • What did you use to make the bump chart? I've used eCharts https://echarts.apache.org/examples/en/editor.html?c=bump-ch...

    Yours looks cleaner and I love the way you handled the off chart samples with dashed lines, that's a great idea.

    Also, using a central area below the chart to show which is highlighted is also great for those that in the past fell off and are no longer on the chart, but naturally people are curious and want to click to see what their names are.

    Here's the eCharts BumpChart on AppGoblin, showing the latest Google Play Store rankings: https://appgoblin.info/rankings/store/1/collection/1/categor...

    But you can see that doing it that way there it's not really clear where / to the apps that just popped into the top 10 came or went.

    I'll try adding the selection area like you have, eg:

    Cantique de Jean Racine, Op. 11 (Fauré, Gabriel)

    2001: Ranked 100th

    2010: No Rank

    2021: No Rank

    Great little chart, thanks!

  • Very cool. Small (almost so small as to be silly) suggestion. But my first instinct as a non-classical music listener was to copy the names of songs into youtube so I could see if I recognised them. But for whatever reason I can't select the text (on desktop, not sure if different elsewhere). Could be cool to allow the text to be selectable, or even better link directly to it if it's on yt or other platforms/places.

  • This years theme 'Greatest of all time' is counting down live on ABC Classic FM if anyone is curious to tune in and get a sample of what the Australian ABC Classic FM audience considers to be 'greatest of all time'.

    Thanks for the great chart! It's fascinating seeing what's fallen out of favour since I started listening to Classic FM - there's a few there I'll go listen to when they finish the countdown for today. Will you update it after this year's count?

    Works fine on the Firefox derivative I'm using.
