THE BIAS LIST’s 2024 Reader Survey – RESULTS



Thanks all for collaborating within the first ever BIAS LIST READER’S SURVEY! I obtained practically 700 responses over the previous few days and it’s been actually enjoyable digging into the outcomes. I needed to share the general tendencies and supply some commentary of my very own.


Question 1
It appears to be like like we’ve bought a seasoned group right here, with the overwhelming majority being readers for anyplace between one to 4 years. This is smart given the weblog’s spike in readership in the course of the pandemic. I’m excited to see nearly 14%  of latest readers. Welcome, welcome, welcome! And to these 13 individuals who have been with me since 2016, thanks from the underside of my coronary heart and… how on earth did you even discover me again then??


Question 2

This dovetails properly with the primary query, although on common readers have been Okay-pop followers longer than they’ve recognized about this weblog. I’m impressed and shocked that almost 1 / 4 of readers have been Okay-pop followers longer than a decade. I depend myself in that group as nicely.


Question 3
Question 3.5

Sorry for the considerably messy show of this graph. It’s exhausting to neatly publish the questions which have so many response selections. This one’s of specific curiosity to me as a result of, other than variety of clicks and feedback, there’s no actual method to gauge which weblog options folks really take pleasure in. It appears to be like like I’ll want to jot down extra “Each Single Ranked” and “Battle of the B-Sides” posts! I’m very pleased to see the love for my weekly J-pop round-ups. They’re time-consuming and don’t get many hits, however those that learn them clearly benefit from the content material. Other than that, it appears to be like like each characteristic has its followers. That’s excellent news!


Question 4

A handful of readers assume I’m both too essential or too good, however on the entire it appears to be like like my opinions have discovered the candy spot.


Question 5

Most readers assume this yr in Okay-pop has been common. 37% discovered it beneath or means beneath common, whereas 22% discovered it above or means above common. It’s value noting that solely 13 folks discovered it “means above common,” although. Unusually, I’d depend myself within the “above common” countdown. The issue is, all the good music was stuffed inside small parts of the yr so total 2024 felt means beneath common. It’s a bizarre yr.


Question 6

That huge white portion is for all of the “different” responses folks left. There have been many of those responses, with some leaving the names of particular artists, some stating that many issues made the yr thrilling and a few saying the yr really wasn’t thrilling in any respect. Judging from the responses, the established Okay-pop teams made 2024 most fun. I really feel the alternative to the bulk, favoring rookie teams this yr.


Question 7

Responses have been a bit extra combined on this one, however I suppose folks weren’t feeling 2024’s new debuts as a lot as ordinary. Or possibly there simply weren’t that many notable debuts?


Question 8

This was break up extra evenly than I anticipated. Judging from feedback and clicks, I assumed my readership was way more woman group biased than this knowledge shows. Woman teams nonetheless took the sting, nevertheless it’s a pleasant steadiness. Many respondents stated that they had no desire.


Question 9

It appears to be like like a lot of you’re prepared for a change in musical tendencies! Me too. We’re additionally wanting ahead to a much less scandal-plagued yr that provides us the return of favourite teams. Solely 4 courageous souls (0.4%) stated they hope 2024’s musical tendencies proceed into subsequent yr.


Query ten was open-ended and I obtained so many lengthy, considerate responses. I’m excited to delve into these extra deeply than I have already got, however above all else I need to thanks all once more. It’s heartening to listen to how this weblog has grow to be part of so many readers’ each day routines.
