"I started with this question as it has been something that's very interesting to me. About a year and a half ago I joined the service Last.fm, which serves many functions but most specifically logs all music that you listen to in real time. This creates a great amount of interesting statistics. Including top artist rankings averaged over the past week.
This is all very interesting briefly, however Last.fm only provides a few mediocre methods of visualizing this vast amount of rich information.
The significant missing dimension of the Last.fm visualizations is time. You can see an average over a time, but cannot see how listening habits change over time, perhaps the most interesting view into the information."
