    Nope. Since they were announced (as of right now..so newer then the stats I published this morning)

    208 people have chosen some must, might, or won't value for them
    And of those 138 have given them a must rating for 66.35% must rating.

    Total users, as of right now is 601

    Why did you think the number was wrong? Or were you referring to something else?
    Maybe I'm just missing the meaning of the Must Percentage definition. So, it's only the percentage of 'responses that are Must and not the highest number of Musts?
    Yes, that is absolutely the case. If all the bands where announced at the same time, raw number would be fine, but with the staggered announcement process earlier announced bands would almost always have more votes then later bands.

    An imperfect solution, for an imperfect world :)

    Attention Newbies!!!!

    One aspect of the 70,000 Tons cruise is there is no offical app for the cruise. This is a shame because with 60+ bands and over 200 events onboard how the hell are you going to keep track of it all!

    Fear not, the 70K community has come to your rescue. For the 9th cruise in a row you can download the 70K Bands app for your iOS or Android phone or tablet. Every year over the last 9 cruises new features, improvements, and refinements have been made to the app, so this is now a well polished tool with lots of features and ease of use conviences added. The app is free, open source, and community maintained.

    What features are offered

    The app actually has 2 different feature sets, and you get both in the same tool
    Pre-Cruise

    You get timely push notifications to your device as bands are announced
    You get a list of currently announced bands
    You can click through to get details of those bands including
    - Links to the Official Site, Metal Archives, Wikipedia, and Youtube for the band
    - Ability to flag as Must See, Might See, or Wont See
    - And after a bit (we need to write them), entertaining and informative descriptions of the bands
    All of this is a native, multi language app

    After the running order of all bands is announced (2-3 days before sail normally), the interface changes to the running order, and the feature set changes

    - You get a list of all 200+ events on board, with events dropping of the active list as they end
    - You get an alert 10 min before events you indicated you were interested in attending start (this can be customized)
    - Optimized for being on a cruise ship with no, or poor internet access
    - Ability to customize the schedule in multiple ways (by band preference, by show preference, etc)

    There is a lot of functionality here built up over the years

    Here is written documentation
    https://docs.google.com/.../1pkqCSj1Yv-E6r5V7L...

    Here is a video walkthrough
    https://youtu.be/e4QW_vPA6nw

    Every Tuesday I will make a post on the official 70K Bands facebook page (and other locations) with the stats of who has marked what bands as favorites and other fun stats about what is going.

    All stats gathered by the app are 100% anonymous and are only used for community purposes.
    Since I don't know your email or other personal data..nothing is really tracking you and nothing is EVER sold.

    Check out the app today!

    The 70K Bands App is the unofficial app for the 70,000 Tons Of Metals cruise. Every week I post stats to show what bands cruisers are liking, and what countries everyone is from! Check it out, here are the number so far.

    Notes for the week:

    Looks like we are paused at 25 and who knows when more announcement will come..hopefully SOOOON.

    Khalma and Emperor are back in the top spots, but it appears Sepultura has settled in at #3 and I believe they will stay in the top 5..for a bit at least.

    Canada and Germany continue their yearly battle for the #2/#3 spot. Canada maintains its lead with Switzerland and the Netherlands now tied for the #4 slot

    The user count has steadily risen from last week but is still less then 1/2 what I expect to see when we sail!


    All stats are from people who have launched the app in the last 30 days. If you stop using the app, then your stats contribution will eventually be removed.

    Notes for the week:

    Looks like we are paused at 25 for now so this will be my last update until we get more to talk about. Will that be Unofficial events happening before and after the cruise being added into the app?..or will it be more announcements from Andy himself?...we will have to see!

    Khalma, Emperor, Sepultura remain in the top spots and the top 10 seems stable for right now.

    Canada and Germany continue their yearly battle for the #2/#3 spot. Canada maintains its lead with Switzerland coming next followed by the Netherlands.

    The user count is still going up slightly from last week, despite that lack of recent updates. iOS and Android are now within 1 user of each other on the count, so iOS is still leading, but they are pretty much tied.

    Notes for the week:

    Just when I thought things were going to pause for a while, Andy comes back to life and announces a few new bands. That works for me!

    The top 5 remain the same bands, but some position switching has taken place. Finntroll has joined the top 10 at #6, though newly announced bands often get a short-term boost. Let’s see if they are still there next week.

    The user count is up again, as would be expected with continuing announcements. What is unexpected is that iOS and Android are tied 50/50, with both having 408 users. I am not sure I have ever seen that before. It’s always close to 50/50, but rarely is it exactly 50/50.

    Notes for the week:

    The same bands stay in the top 10, but with significant reshuffling, with Finntoll surprising me by rising to the #2 spot!

    The user count is down by a little from last week, but with the lack of announcements for the last 2 weeks, that is not surprising.

    Android is now in the lead over iOS, and that is not a surprise, as that is consistent with previous years. Though they are always close’ish to a 50/50 split.


    We now have people from 47 different countries using the app!

    

I will likely skip next week unless there is something new to report. Last time I threatened to do that, Andy surprised us by announcing new bands, maybe this will happen again!!

    Notes for the week:

    So we got a new band announcement a few days ago, but for whatever reason, the boost to app launches was very minor. As a result, usage is down still, not a big deal though as things are still early.

    

While the bands in the top 10 remain consistent, the order has been reworked. Trouble did not crack the top 10. Kalmah stays on top, but Unleash the Archers moves up to the number 2 slot.

    
Android continues to push ahead of iOS, though I would expect the number to move closer to 50/50 once the user count moves up again.

    Platform
    Android - 362 Users, representing 53.24%
    iOS - 318 Users, representing 46.76%
    Total Users so far 680

    Top 10 Must/Might/Wont choices
    Band Name Must Count Must Percentage
    Kalmah 319 68.90%
    Unleash The Archers 281 66.90%
    Sepultura 248 64.75%
    Finntroll 220 64.71%
    Septic Flesh 287 64.64%
    Hammerfall 284 62.25%
    Emperor 305 62.63%
    Stratovarius 278 60.96%
    Decapitated 224 57.88%
    Samael 235 55.42%


    Top 10 Countries
    Country Count Percentage
    United States 304 44.71%

    Someone pointed out the details of the band Trouble were incorrect within the app. I have fixed the issue, sorry for any confusion!

    Basically the Trouble on the ship is Doom from the US, not Heavy Metal from Sweden!

    The 70K Bands App is the unofficial app for the 70,000 Tons Of Metals cruise. Every week, I post stats to show what bands cruisers are liking and what countries everyone is from! Check it out; here are the numbers so far.

    Notes for the week:

    So we got another new band announcement yesterday, so it looks like Andy wants to keep a slow but steady pace for the announcements. Works for me!

    Swallow the Sun starts off strong, landing at number 6. Is this due to the Ballet Finland element or would they have landed there without that element? Not sure, but this is a strong start for sure. This drops Samael out of the top 10. Do keep in mind that new bands often get a bump as die-hard fans quickly press 'Must', but then fall a few places when other 'less enthusiastic' responses come in, so it is possible they could fall a few places by next week. How long will the once-a-week band announcements continue...only Andy knows. Stay tuned!

    Candana is still ahead of Germany, but only by 1 user, so the gap has narrowed.

    With an announcement 2 weeks in a row, the user count is up, which is always good to see.

    I am still waiting for details from our pre-party hosts, though I know they are busy getting everything together for some awesome events. I will post details of all the pre-party happenings as soon as they have all the details ironed out and available...so look for that coming sooooon!

    Notes for the week:

    So the once-a-week announcement pace continues! Ihsahn does not make the top 10, but it is not far off from it.

    The number 10 spot swapped out Decapitated for Samael, but other than that, the top 10 remains the same. That being said, there was significant shuffling of positions, with Kalmah staying on top.

    Canada is still ahead of Germany and has widened the gap so it is no longer as close as it was.

    The iOS/Android gap has narrowed substantially, with Android ahead by only 6 users, far less than 1%. Overall usage is flat for the most part, up by one user from last weeks number.

    All stats are from people who have launched the app in the last 30 days. If you stop using the app, then your stats contribution will eventually be removed.

    Notes for the week:

    So no new announcements this week, but am posting stats anyway just because. I may skip next week if there is nothing new going on though.

    The top 10 bands remain pretty stable, with some minor position switching in the #2 spot. Decapitated knocking Samael out of the top 10, at least temporarily, is the only major change.

    Canada is still ahead of Germany, and that has been the case for the last few weeks. This week I will provide the full list of 43 countries represented in the app!

    iOS has now overtaken Android, though not by much. Overall usage is up slightly.

    Notes for the week:

    So the once-a-weekish trend continues. Not as exciting as the huge batches, but then there are no super-long droughts. This is what we have been asking for, so I commend Andy for keeping up the pace!

    The top 10 bands remain stable, with barely any position switching, so let's post the top 15 just to keep things interesting!

    Canada is still ahead of Germany, and that has been the case for the last few weeks. We now have people from 44 countries using the app!

    Given how you currently display and calculate the stats, I like 15 better than 10. Gives a clearer picture and there's not a lack of space we need to worry about.

    The 70K Bands App is the unofficial app for the 70,000 Tons Of Metals cruise. Every week I post stats to show what bands cruisers are liking, and what countries everyone is from! Check it out, here are the number so far.

    Notes for the week:

    So the once-a-weekish trend seems broken this week. I just had to compliment Andy on the pace and jinx it. Maybe he considers the 4 months till sail post (Facebook, website, etc...but not posted on the forum) his post for the week, and things will continue next week. Only Andy knows for sure. If there is no new news, I will likely skip the stats update next week until there is something new to report on. Pre-party info 'should' be coming soon, but I am not sure when exactly that will drop...but stay tuned!!!

    I am permanently changing the top 10 artists to the top 15, at least when 30 or more bands are announced. I want to celebrate the bands we all seem to like, without kicking any band that is not so high in the stats. Emperor has risen to #2 on the stats, dropping Sepultura and Sepicflesh down 1 rank. All the bands in this top 15 were in the last top 15 list...so more shuffling of the current top bands than anyone new breaking in.

    Canada continues to hold onto the lead against Germany.

    iOS continues its lead against Android. Overall usage is down slightly as is to be expected when there is little new to see in the app.

    Aaron and I have been slowly but surely adding descriptions for all the bands into the app. Currently 28 of the 32 bands have descriptions!

    All stats are from people who have launched the app in the last 30 days. If you stop using the app, then your stats contribution will eventually be removed.

    The 70K Bands App is the unofficial app for the 70,000 Tons Of Metals cruise. Every week I post stats to show what bands cruisers are liking, and what countries everyone is from! Check it out, here are the number so far.

    Notes for the week:

    So we have another announcement, Ex Deo this time. Andy seems to want to keep the slow and steady pace going! Just as Aaron felt proud of himself for fully catching up with all the band descriptions, Andy less than 12 hours later takes away from his sense of completion :)

    We also have our first Pre-Party announcement with the Survivor Documentary event happening on 1/27. I know several cruisers who were interviewed by the team responsible for this movie, including myself. I have no idea what footage they are going to use or how it came out, but I will be there to find out, see you guys there as well.

    I expect to have many more pre and post cruise party announcements coming in the next 2 weeks, so stay tuned! I would encourage everybody to come out early and get to know everyone in the more relaxed pre-party environment.

    Ex Deo, to my surprise, goes to the top of the list! Not sure if they will stray there, as bands tend to get a surge of 'Must' votes on announcement, and then drop a few places once more people weigh in, but I believe they will easily stay in the top 10 and maybe even in the top 5!

    Canada continues to hold onto the lead against Germany.

    iOS continues its lead against Android. Overall usage is up again, as more things are happening as we get ever closer to sail date!

    All stats are from people who have launched the app in the last 30 days. If you stop using the app, then your stats contribution will eventually be removed.

    Notes for the week:

    So when will this week’s announcement drop, or did the 100 days and counting count as the communication for the week? We will find out 'sooooon'. I am starting to see a pattern here... Andy is not trying to make an 'announcement' every week...he is trying to 'communicate' every week. So under that theory, the '100 days and counting' post counts as this week’s communication.

    Ex Deo does stay in the top 10, but drops down to #7 now that more people have weighed in.

    I expect to have more Pre-Party announcements 'sooon'...will it be this week...could be :)

    Canada continues to hold onto the lead against Germany.

    Hey Ron,

    Can we get a Cruiser-organized event added? Going to be at 09:30am BOAT time on Day 2 by Promenade Cafe to get it out of the way before bands start. Basically a trading event for any souvenirs that people want to bring along (stickers, picks, etc.).

    Little bit of info here:

    Can we get a Cruiser-organized event added? Going to be at 09:30am BOAT time on Day 2 by Promenade Cafe to get it out of the way before bands start. Basically a trading event for any souvenirs that people want to bring along (stickers, picks, etc.).

    Little bit of info here:

    Sure...working on adding some other events soon, so later this week would be fine.

    Absolute Darkness is proud to announce we will be kicking off the Heavy Metal Beach Party’s Live Concert Event on January 28th, 2025, at the Clevelander Hotel in South Beach, Miami!

    For those not in the know, this is part of 3 days of pre-parties leading up to the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise!

    Members of the band have a long history with the cruise and pre-party event starting in 2014!

    Ron Dorn - Singer/Guitarist

    He released and maintains the 70K Bands App that is used by everyone on the cruise for free. The app has been available since 2015.

    This year will be his black card cruise. You get that for sailing 10 times on this cruise as he has been sailing every year the cruise has happened since 2014.

    Orson Sojo - Bassist
    Has been on 7 cruises and this year will be number 8 for him. He is VERY well known in the Bay Area metal community. He has attended many Beach Party events over the years.

    Doug Vetter - Guitarist
    This will be Doug's second year on the cruise. He very much enjoyed the Beach Party and cruise last year and is looking forward to attending both the cruise and the Beach Party this year!

    Scott Russell - Drummer
    Every band has to have that one member 😞 He has been in the band less than 2 years, and while we applied pressure for him to attend last year and this year...so far it's a no-go for the cruise… but he WILL be in Miami with us for the pre-party! On the plus side, he is an awesome drummer and human being!

    We look forward to seeing all our fellow survivors there!!!

    If I could (still ?) make it next year I would definitely plan to attend the pre-party for the first time, just for ABSOLUTE DARKNESS, because AFAIC you’re a founding member of the 70K community, and I want to hear how much your band sucks :D
