I created a popularity index of second hand rock music based on information retrieved (14th September 2016) from the popular music market website Discogs.com<\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>The list of the countries includes all the European countries that were mentioned on the website according to the origin of the market of the release regardless of the release\u2019s physical format. This list does not include records that were describing 2 regions under the same name such as \u201cUK-Ireland\u201d, \u201cUS-Europe\u201d, however those records were few. The music genre that was chosen for analysis, is Rock music including its subgenres. Although this index does not represent the 100% of the accuracy of the data because you never know if the Discogs contributor always mentions the right country of the release&#8217;s origin, it is a useful guide to review the market\u2019s status.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">15\u00a0 Most popular countries based on release&#8217;s origin<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Various\/popular_countries.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Number of items \/ Country (Full index)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 385,907 UK <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 276,301 Germany <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 114,318 France <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 93,479 Italy <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 77,863 Spain <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 76,886 Netherlands <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 52,125 Sweden <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 38,765 Finland <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 38,673 Poland <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 27,536 Belgium <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 27,503 Greece <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 23,136 Norway <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 19,464 Denmark<br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 19,021 Czech Republic <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 18,155 Portugal <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 14,224 Austria <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 11,194 Switzerland <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 8,835 Hungary <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7,633 Ireland <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5,373 Croatia <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4,574 Romania <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4,541 Bulgaria <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2,694 Lithuania <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2,240 Serbia <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1,908 Luxembourg <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1,895 Iceland <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1,275 Belarus <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 807 Latvia <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 432 FYROM <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 358 Bosnia <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 209 Liechtenstein <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 179 Cyprus <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 114 Malta <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 100 Faroe Islands <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 88 Andorra<br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 87 Moldova <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 27 Albania <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 26 Montenegro <br \/>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7 San Marino <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: Discogs.com<br \/>Image photo: By David Brian Jones <br \/>Statistics: Vasileios Yfantis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, it is hard to estimate the sum of the second hand music that is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food-for-thought"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6197\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
