Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, comprising: code that identifies a population of users having a demonstrated interest in at least one of a content item or a performer, the content item comprising one of a music content item or a video content item; code that identifies an age of each of the users from the population of users; code that generates a plurality of ordered bins into which the population of users can be separated according to the identified age of each of the users from the population of users, the plurality of ordered bins being ordered consecutively according to a respective age or age range associated with each of the plurality of ordered bins; code that identifies a respective one of the plurality of ordered bins into which each user from the population of users can be placed according to the identified age of each of the users; code that places each user from the population of users into the respective one of the plurality of ordered bins; and code that calculates at least one of a content item metric or a performer metric associated with a measure of lasting value of the at least one of the content item or the performer based at least in part upon a distribution of the population of users across the plurality of ordered bins, the distribution based at least in part upon the number of the plurality of ordered bins into which the population of users is distributed or a contiguousness of the plurality of ordered bins into which the population of users is distributed.
