This is a list of how many people were listening to particular songs on shoutcast stations. Listeners did not vote for these songs, but they were receiving a stream of the song at the time the stations were polled, so it's assumed the music wasn't so horrible they turned it off; the point of this is to get a list of popular songs, not good ones.

This list should help predict what will be well received in the clubs.

stations. The last poll was

2006-01-03: I started work at a place where music is their business, so I'm putting this project aside. If you want to tinker with it yourself, you can have the source code. I used PHP, PostgreSQL and Python, but you could substitute MySQL if you wanted to. The database ran over a gigabyte, though, so watch out.
