Most viewed artists on IrishRockers.com

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

I recently added Google Analytics to the site which provides me with a range of interesting stats about the site. One piece of interesting information that I’m going to share with you is the most artist viewed pages. Here’s the top 30 for the last month:

1. Mama’s Boys
2. Van Morrison
3. 18th Empire
4. Dropkick Murphys
5. Blood or Whiskey
6. U2
7. The Pogues
8. Horslips
9. Celtic Legacy
10. 20 Bulls Each
11. A Lazarus Soul
12. Autumn Owls
13. Rory Gallagher
14. Flogging Molly
15. No Sweat
16. A Plastic Rose
17. Arm The Elderly
18. Black 47
19. In Tua Nua
20. Band On An Island
21. Bagatelle
22. Barry McCabe
23. Chrome Horse
24. Angel Pier
25. Archie The Leper
26. Aslan
27. Cruachan
28. Frantic State
29. Young Dubliners
30. The Saw Doctors

I found it quite unexpected that Mama’s Boys is the most visited artist page on the site. It’s amazing the amount of interest still there for this 80s metal band. They’ve got quite a few comments added to their page over time as well. 18th Empire’s name is working to their advantage, being the first listed band their page get’s a lot of hits.
