I, myself am quite a statto. I like to look at figures and try and take meaning from them... if not for anything more than a trivial interest. I know that Onhell, Perun and a few others are interested in these kind of statistics and with a little bit of help from you guys, this can be a thread buzzing with interesting statistics.

*NB* Some of these facts are not concrete and application of opinion must be used, for example the definition of a chorus may differ for each individual.
*1 No words sang, or spoken, by a vocalist over a particular period of time
*2 A line or group of lines repeated at intervals in a song.
For example, in "Afraid to Shoot Strangers", there is no chorus because the words all follow after one another and there is no verse, so to speak.
*3 Help from ]Forostar (pre-AMOLAD songs)
*4 A big thanks to Albie (NPFTD - AMOLAD). Number of words calculated using Microsoft Word. Discounting repeated lines (choruses and verses)
*5 Entirely compiled by Forostar
*6 Entirely compiled by Perun
*7 Entirely compiled by Perun
*8 Entirely compiled by Albie
"I (Albie) have compiled these stats from the length of tracks reported by the CD upon insertion - using MusicMatch Jukebox. The Enhanced versions are there because there is an extra track on the first three albums. The last track is always the time from the original album, as the time reported (as above) seems to add an extra minute or two because of the enhanced features (I would think)."
*9 Entirely compiled by Albie
*10 Entirely compiled by Forostar. Uncertainty lies over the issue of "Mother Russia" as some claim it was played live in Phoenix.
*11 Entirely compiled by Perun. Every tour is included, even if the song was on the setlist only once (such as Run To The Hills). The pre-Iron Maiden tours are comprehended as one tour, Fear Of The Dark and Real Live Tours are two tours, just as Gimme Ed... Till I'm Dead and Dance Of Death.
By the way, Iron Maiden, The Number Of The Beast and Hallowed Be Thy Name are the only songs that have been on every setlist since their release (The Trooper was not played on the Somewhere In Time tour).
*12 Not including different formats of the same release. Eg, "Live After Death" video and audio counted as one release.
*13 Entirely compiled by Sinister Minister X. Average length of all Maiden studio tracks, including b-sides: 5:29

*7 Entirely compiled by Perun
*8 Entirely compiled by Albie
"I (Albie) have compiled these stats from the length of tracks reported by the CD upon insertion - using MusicMatch Jukebox. The Enhanced versions are there because there is an extra track on the first three albums. The last track is always the time from the original album, as the time reported (as above) seems to add an extra minute or two because of the enhanced features (I would think)."
*9 Entirely compiled by Albie
*10 Entirely compiled by Forostar. Uncertainty lies over the issue of "Mother Russia" as some claim it was played live in Phoenix.
*11 Entirely compiled by Perun. Every tour is included, even if the song was on the setlist only once (such as Run To The Hills). The pre-Iron Maiden tours are comprehended as one tour, Fear Of The Dark and Real Live Tours are two tours, just as Gimme Ed... Till I'm Dead and Dance Of Death.
By the way, Iron Maiden, The Number Of The Beast and Hallowed Be Thy Name are the only songs that have been on every setlist since their release (The Trooper was not played on the Somewhere In Time tour).
*12 Not including different formats of the same release. Eg, "Live After Death" video and audio counted as one release.
*13 Entirely compiled by Sinister Minister X. Average length of all Maiden studio tracks, including b-sides: 5:29
