Another feature I have always missed in XBMC is to be able to see the Music charts for an Artist.
This helps when browsing new artists to find their best songs.
I wrote an API
here:
And someone has even wrote a xbmc python script to return the details here
https://github.com/phil65/script.extendedinfo
So now we just need someone to integrate that into a skin or add-on
The final idea is to have a feedback loop when browsing music artists to find the best tracks, even if you don't already know the band.
good stuff, the music library needs more like this.
would love to see something similar to IMDB 250 (on the video side of things), but with the Rolling Stone Top 500 albums/tracks.

I actually thought about this already as well
The top 500 album list is auto generated from sales figures
http://www.theaudiodb.com/topalbums
Of course all available from the JSON api
I could also do it based on the score out of 10, but need people to score their favourite albums first.

One of the best ideas in a long time, but do any API's support this?
Was this idea pursued? Still a great possible feature.

Check out the recent update to:
https://github.com/phil65/script.extendedinfo
If you noticed in the documentation there is an update:
Code:
#########################################################################################
TheAudioDB
#########################################################################################
RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=mostlovedtracks) --> MostLovedTracks.%d
- fetches most loved tracks for the given artist (TheAudioDB)
-- required additional parameters: artistname=
Basically this means that any skin creator can now add music charts
Let me know if anyone implements it in a skin. Could be amazing to show the most popular tracks while browsing an artist.
Neato. Did I get it right, that it's just up to a skin now to make use of the feature?
Hmmm, I downloaded all the scripts and the master skin from Phil's thread but I can't find them.
Edit: Found it. Where should I report my opinion about the implementation? Here or in Phil's thread?
