Artist Variety Rate is the number of different artists as a percentage of the total number of albums.
Artists With Two+ Records is the number of artists of which I own more than one album.
The Media and Country listings also serve as a key to the abbreviations used in the record list.
If a Total doesn't add up to 100%, there are records with missing values that have been omitted.
The term Album refers to all media types which now include artist-related Books and Videos.
The pseudo artists Various and Soundtrack are excluded from the Top Artists By Albums chart.

Genre refers to a major musical style while Category can be considered a 'sub-genre' of that style. It's still crude and inconsistent. I haven't decided on the level of detail and general scheming yet.
