It's amazing what you can end up doing when bored !!
Being a geek, and feeling that I'm a musical Americophile, I decided to go through my music collection and work out what percentage of my albums are from artists from different countries.
I expected most of them to originate from the US, but was wrong. Results are:
Austrian 2%
Canadian 3%
French 1%
German 3%
Irish 2%
Italian 1%
Jamaican 4%
Multi-national 3%
UK 42%
US 36%
This totals 97% of them, and the rest are split between 30 countries which contributed less than 1% each.
I don't recommend that anyone wastes their life in this way !!
I did think about importing the above as a pie chart, but even I'm not that much of a geek.
PS I've just told Mrs Tiggi what I've done, and she's walked away shaking her head...
