If The Chart Represented Population
by 
baystateoftheart 
Each country is represented by the number of albums that equals its percentage of world population. The most populous nations with less than 0.5% of world population have also been included by necessity. Afghanistan would have appeared on this list, but there are no albums to represent it on BEA. It was replaced by Madagascar. How many of these have you heard?

Cool idea for a chart. I actually added a lot of the Chinese albums to the database, so I was delighted to see them here.

Spun about half, which isn't awful. Just happen to have a few of these in the queue already too.
And you should probably go with Homayun Sakhi for Afghanistan (they don't have, well... too much else...)
