More progress! Billboard ratings.

We have been comparing the billboard ratings of genres in The Netherlands and Slovenia.
For The Netherlands we have been looking for two top 40 lists. The two that were most different from each other.
One was the SlamFM top 40 because that's the one that is most popular by youngsters, the other one was the very objective top 40, the top 40 of all songs that were sold in The Netherlands in the last period.

Here are the results from the research in the Netherlands:
  1. Pop
  2. House
  3. R&B/Hiphop/rap
  4. Dance
  5. Indie
  6. Rock
The average number of these genres appearing in the top 40's was:
Pop:                          21/40
House:                      9/40
R&B/Hiphop/Rap:   5/20
Dance:                      3/20
Indie:                        1/20
Rock:                        1/20
(the other ones were accidental hits from underground genres and appeared less than 1/20)

We've done the same for the Slovenian Top 40's. We took some more radiostations because we were not sure what group they targeted. So in this way we would get the best image of the average Slovenian person.

Here are the results from the research in Slovenia:

  1. Pop
  2. Rock
  3. House
  4. R&B/Hiphop/Rap
  5. Folk
  6. Indie/soul/dance
  7. Indie/soul/dance
  8. Indie/soul/dance
  9. Jazz
  10. Reggae
And here are the ratings:

Pop:                          9,6/20
Rock:                        2,6/20
House:                      2,4/20
R&B/Hiphop/Rap:   2,2/20
Folk:                         0,8/20
Indie/soul/dance:      0,6/20
Jazz:                         0,4/20
Reggae:                    0,2/20

Introduction

Hello everybody, we are Tilen Ursic and Menno van Zutphen.
Tilen is from Slovenia and Menno is from The Netherlands. Tilen lives in Ljubljana and Menno in Uden.
Right now Tilen is still in The Netherlands and we've just been working for a week on our exchange project. When we started the project we were given a list of possible subjects. We both agreed that music was the subject that we both liked the most. So we chose music.
We decided that the research question would be:
"What is the lifestyle that has the most popular music in NL & SI"

Our subquestions are:
* What kind of music is popular  amongst young people?
* What kind of music is most downloaded in all of the Netherlands?
* What kind of music is best rated in Slovenian top 40's?
* What kind of life-style does the music originate from or does the music target?
