| Predicting Future Album Ratings
I would like to do a "wisdom of the crowds" type experiment to see how well you guys know the sputnik user base. In the comments, write the name of an upcoming album that has not been released, and I'll post it to the list. From there, write what range of a rating the album will fall into in its first month, and what range the amount of ratings will fall into. If you think your very certain, your ranges should be smaller than if you were very uncertain. Do as many album predictions as you want. Also, it would work best if you did not look at what other users predict.
The ideal format for your submissions, so that data is easier to scrape:
Band Name, Album Name, range of album rating (i.e. 3.5 to 3.8), range of number of ratings in first month (i.e. 40 to 64).
(The comma's or at least some punctuation is very important to separate the entries)
I'll try to make a list before each album releases with the predictions. If any are interested, I'll also release the raw data and code I used to produce the predictions.

02.27.16 | Other future projects I would be interested in: I would like to find a way to assess how influential various staff are (i.e. do they predict/influence the rating of an album via their reviews), a text analysis of the news of an upcoming album and how that predicts album ratings, code to automatically give album recs. If you guys have any questions/problems that you think could be answered with data, I'd give it a try. | torts
