Albums played live

Each album uses one selected edition programme from the attributed MusicBrainz catalogue, without adding later bonus tracks. The total adds its songs’ distinct, named, non-playback appearances in stored setlist.fm concerts. Three different album songs at one concert contribute three appearances. A repeated entry for the same song at that concert counts once; duplicate track identities within an album do not inflate its total.

“Per song” divides the album total by all unique songs in that selected programme, including tracks with no matched record. It is a comparison of appearances per album track, not the percentage of concerts featuring the album. Bars start at zero and use the largest value in the current comparison as their endpoint.

Original track titles are mapped to reviewed concert-song identities. Exact titles and reviewed typography or aliases are supported; uncertain mappings hold an album out of the ranking. Medleys are not split across albums. Missing records do not establish that a song was never played. Concerts may be incomplete, and earlier appearances of songs that later appeared on an album remain included.

Year and tour filters use the concert’s date and retained tour label, not the album’s release year. Album evidence lists track contributions and unique contributing concert records separately: the latter is a different measure from summed song appearances.
