DLC Discussion Thread Week of 10/9: Singles from Billy Squier & A Flock of Seagulls!

[GRRRUMBLE]

So much that has come out has been great . The sale led to many purchases that I had passed on earlier. Maybe sometime in the future I'll buy this weeks pro upgrade song but not now. I like songs like that happy rime song , the ancient mariner.

and that whole "licensing in threes" thing

Don't you make me pull out the numbers again.

Haha, you got me. I only said that because I missed you, and I knew mentioning it would make you appear to disprove me.

I skim along the RB store.
I never thought I'd see a week like you.
See a week like you.

With funny hair and Billy Squier.
The kind of Squier that hypnotize me through.
Hypnotize me through.

And I said "Man,"
"Why'd this take til' today?"
I said "Man,"
"I wanted this in May"
(I couldn't buy Green Day)

What numbers? Songs are released in either easily defined groupings of three (two singles and an on-disc, say, if not a three-pack), just a single, or great big packs like full albums quite a bit more than any other combination. No one suggests that 4- or 5-packs or two singles without a third song on a game soundtrack don't ever happen, because obviously they do, but even the 15 or 20 (or 30) examples you're no doubt gonna beat me over the head with don't dispel what very much seems to be the most common practice. Most common -- not only.

The numbers where something like 14% of the songs were potentially 'licensed in threes'. That's including all three. If we were to go instance by instance, it would most likely shrink. I posted all the numbers the last time you tried saying this.

So what, an EIGHTH of the Harmonix DLC is maybe 'licensed in threes' and suddenly we use that as the example? What's the average amount of songs each band has in Rock Band? NOT three or higher? Hmm. Who woulda thought.

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Can you perhaps back that up with something?

I'd be inclined to comb through the catalog myself and crunch the numbers, if no one else has done so. I like statistical minutiae like that. I'll do it Sunday.

What's the average amount of songs each band has in Rock Band? NOT three or higher? Hmm. Who woulda thought.

If 50 artists have three songs and just 10 have only one, the average is below three. So that doesn't really work.
