Sunday & Statistics #6

Hello! Let me welcome you with a song:


This week's Top 10 solidifies existing trends: the US is still has a very comfortable lead over everyone else, while Greece sits comfortably in 2nd place. Two countries that had a slow start, but had a very dynamic presence since, occupy positions 3 & 4: Germany is #3 & Russia is #4. Ireland, another country whose presence has become more prominent, is at #5. France is at #6, Spain at #7 and there's a 3-way tie at #8 which completes the Top 10: Canada, Cyprus & the UK.

A couple of weeks ago we welcomed Montenegro in our circle of friends. This week it's the turn of two other former Yugoslav Republics, Macedonia and Croatia. Also gracing us with their presence this week are the following countries: Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Italy, Mauritius, Mexico, Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, Venezuela and Vietnam. It's great to have you all!

The all-time Top 10 proved to be an exciting watch this week. Not so much for positions 1 & 2, as US and Greece continue to maintain their respective leads. So far, the US has clocked up 2529 visits and Greece has managed 1144. It's further down that the competition heats up: Germany and Ireland have been fighting for 3d place all through the week. At one point, they were in a tie. Then Germany showed more stamina and secured the 3d place, while Ireland sits comfortably at #4. The UK, which has surprisingly winded down these last few weeks, manages to hold at #5, but is threatened by Canada at #6. Russia is at #7, but if it keeps on the current pace, will soon invade the Top 5. France solidified its position at #8 and Spain is quite comfortable at #9. Cyprus, which was temporarily out of the 10, makes a dynamic return to occupy #10, thus completing the trifecta of Mediterranean countries in the bottom end of the Top 10.

I wish you all a great week and a very happy month of May! I leave you with another song, this one by the amazing Katie Melua.
