Re: “The Fun Part”:
I’m fine with showing the totals of how many artists, releases, recordings, users, etc., MB has, but that doesn’t make MB unique. Discogs, for one, touts “More than 598,000 people have contributed some piece of knowledge, to build up a catalog of more than 14,385,824 recordings and 7,727,914 artists.”
Only the “Recordings” number is lower than what MB claims (which kinda doesn’t make sense, but…). Like I said, I’m fine with publishing these stats, but I’d suggest putting them under some other heading. They are not what make MB unique.
