MJ is an information graphic showing Michael Jackson's career in terms of play counts and loves on an individual track basis, with the data coming from the social music network, Last.fm. It's compiled from 3,606,823 plays by 1,432,458 listeners who loved Michael Jackson tracks 46,032 times. It gives an overview of his most influential, most played and most loved material.
In order to read this information graphic note that the size of each slice is proportional to the number of plays of that particular track or release compared to the total number of plays of Michael Jackson's material on Last.fm. The darkness of the slice indicates how loved that track or album is by the listener base. Tracks are organised by album, by date, starting with his first solo record, Ben, from 1972.
There's more notes on the metrics and how I produced this programmatically in the extended post.
