The rarity index

How rare a song really is: not how many times it has been played, but how often the band reaches for it relative to how long they have had it.

Odds are shows Phish has played since the song’s debut, divided by its all-time play count — “1 in 40” means it turns up once every forty shows on average. Every input is Phish.net’s: the debut date, the play count, and the full show list since. A rotation song sits near 1 in 3; a once-a-tour song near 1 in 30; the unicorns at 1 in 200 and up. 💎💎 1 in 10 · 💎💎💎 1 in 20 · 💎💎💎💎 1 in 50 · 💎💎💎💎💎 1 in 100.
