Enhancements to the statistics pages

[albummaster]

I've finally found a PHP graphics library that is actually poweful enough to produce the types of statistical graphs and charts that can do justice to this site. The current statistics pages have now been revamped to use the new library and now that there is more power under the hood, further enhancements in this area can be expected fairly shortly.

The graphs show the member and recognised charts side-by-side and make for some interesting perusing. For example:

BestEverAlbums.com 'member charts' top 5 albums:

Rank 1=OK Computer - Radiohead
Rank 1=Revolver - The Beatles
3 Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
4 Nevermind - Nirvana
5 Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan

Registered members can add their own charts to this site from the My Chart page. Member's charts are fully incorporated within the overall statistics on this site.

We hope you enjoy the site and let us know if there's anything else that we should include on here or if you spot anything wrong.
