3346 bands in total; 1321 (39%) require samples; 762 (23%) require VR proof; 1262 (38%) require both
884 (34% of) sample-less bands have a release on Discogs (784), musik-sammler.de (22) or both (78), potentially for sale
1239 (37%) bands have a search alert set up on Soulseek; 37 have a request thread on HMR (that's 1 in 90; at least 168 might benefit from creating one and a further 524 still need to be looked up)
430 (13%) bands still need to be looked up on Discogs (8), musik-sammler.de (168) and/or Soulseek (280)
Since June 17 2023, we have been able to remove 9958 entries from this list (an average of 9 per day; at this rate it would take 372 days to clear the current list)
93% of band entries are older than 1 year, 81% are older than 2, 14.4% are older than 5
Out of those older than 8 years, 25 bands are still lacking VR proof, so maybe time to lay them to rest
