I finally had time to export the stats on the top circulating CDs of 2024 to better understand what music works and how well it performs. Why a Top 16? I initially planned a Top 10, but many CDs had the same number of borrowings. Sixteen is the point where the number of borrowings changes, so I used that as the cutoff.
Let's dig into the statistics! :)
