As stated by John from Google (Code.org, 2017), “Google came up with the most famous algorithm for choosing the most relevant results for a search by taking into account how many other pages link to a given page. The idea is that if lots of webpages think a link is interesting, it’s probably the one you’re looking for”. This is a prime interpretation that if many people are choosing this “website”, its popularity could be from similar reasoning. In comparison to our statistical analysis based on our top 10 choices from the Golden Record, a “track” that was very popular could have its popularity strung from similar reasoning by many people. What this reasoning is will require further interpretation and analysis of data. Watch my video to learn more about my analysis!
