Which artists are a "one-hit wonder" and which artists have a constant fan-community? Are Radiohead supporters more receptive to different music trends than hip-hop artist Nelly's fans? Where do certain music genres cumulate and where is a recently launched album heard first?In order to answer these and other questions, Christopher Adjei and Nils Holland-Cunz have observed and analyzed the growing music social network service Last.fm over a period of four months. The results from their observations were presented in a set of striking visualizations made in Processing, and divided in four parts: Comparing fan-groups, Fluctuation of fans, Album-Release, and Cumulation of genres.The first image shows the fluctuation of fans of Icelandic singer Bjork, while the second represents the cumulation of the "Metal" genre across Europe.
