.@HandNF tying to explain @xpnmorningshow's name chain game to someone and found your article. Kudos!!! As the idiot who started doing stats on the countdowns in part to find a cool @ProjectJupyter project you get points from me. fleker.medium.com/how-i-got-a-gi…

For the record, 7 or my 10 votes got played. Both The Story and Angel From Montgomery were in the top 10. #XPNCountdown

Well the @wxpnfm 885 Greatest Songs By Women #XPNCountdown just ended 885 tracks from 315 artists. @jonimitchell had by far the most tracks with 30 @Carole_King Tapestry had the most songs with 9 Blue was right behind with 8. drewsudell.org/projects/a2z/8…

Apologies to anyone who reacted to the two deleted misspellings.

So excited, I "misspelled" "4" twice :)

@brandicarlile The Story No 4, 2nd time in the top 10 of #XPNcountdown and cross another of my votes off the list!

Ok, @TheBonnieRaitt Angel From Montgomery at No 7. It was one of my unplayed votes. Was worried but all is right with the world now. #XPNCountdown

@redcoloredstars I hope so. I like The Joke. But voted The Story as it was just more quintessential @brandicarlile to me. But we're at number 8 and I've only had half of my votes.

@d0ntdeconstruct I voted for it. But as @Kurt_Derr points out, it was the duet w/ John Prine that time. Still hoping, there are 19 to go.

wait... bonnie raitt's "angel from montgomery" cracked the top 20 in the 2020 Greatest Songs of All Time right?? #XPNCountdown

Mid day stats update for @wxpnfm 885 Greatest Songs by Women #XPNCountdown So far 817 tracks from 309 Artists. @jonimitchell has the most tracks and 3 back to back plays. @ThePretendersHQ and @HappyWoman9 have albums with 7 tracks played. drewsudell.org/projects/a2z/8…

@mojosent @wxpnfm No idea. I was thinking of Trio when wrote that. Just looked. The album is called Trio, but the artist(s) on the cover are Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris . But as I run my stats, that wouldn't match any of them.

@asudell @wxpnfm Interesting, would the issue still be there for, say Phil Collins/Genesis, Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music, Paul McCartney/Beatles, etc How did u classify Trio? Linda, Dolly, and Emmylou. Me, that would be as a group, Trio.

So is These Are Days -> Wonder a "back to back?" how do we score single artists who were in groups? Judges? #XPNCountdown For my stats I'm going with "spell it different and it's different" but that's just me being lazy.

@mojosent @wxpnfm Mixed bands and duets kind of skirt "is this a female artist". There were a few Janis Joplin tracks but also some Big Brother & the Holding Company that are only on the list because of Janis. Same artist or not? I could make a case either way.

@asudell Aren't those scientific terms? That would be challenging. For #XPNCountdown it's usually one's solo output or as part of a band. Nobody os naming a new species. @wxpnfm

Evening stats update for @wxpnfm 885 Greatest Songs by Women #XPNCountdown. So far, 760 tracks from 303 artists. The the last 125 tomorrow should be fun drewsudell.org/projects/a2z/8…

@mojosent Most attempts at categorization and/or bucketing are, at some level, flawed. That's what makes taxonomies and ontologies hard things.

@asudell That is good question, I was confused if say, I should put Shirley Manson or Garbage as the artist on the ballot. Same with Debbie Harry and Blondie. I imagine those who counted votes sorted it out. I would say 10,000 Maniacs and Natalie M are separate entries.

@rossinphl This may be a cabal free countdown.

@asudell And prog rock.

@jay_lass @wxpnfm You might need to refresh. The page pulls results dynamically when it loads. (notice the long time with just boxes). Not sure if it reloads periodically. But I've been seeing much newer data.

Hey @wxpnfm this hasn’t changed in three days apparently. Can we get an update? #Xpncountdown

@savash98 @ThePretendersHQ @HappyWoman9 It would have to be an album with no more than 10 tracks. Both Car Wheels and Pretenders have more.

@asudell @ThePretendersHQ @HappyWoman9 Yesterday, a host wondered if anyone had voted an entire album.

2 Albums have 6 tracks on #XPNCountdown. @ThePretendersHQ debut and @HappyWoman9 Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. Any chance we get a full album?
