Ranking the top songs in the world -- based on streaming and sales activity

There have been concerns expressed about the increasing prevalence of fake streams that call into question whether consumers can trust the information on music streaming platforms. Which brings to attention how outside manipulation or fraud affect the credibility of the Billboard Charts.

In addition, it’s all about the availability of the data. And having the various streaming and digital retail services willing to participate and provide data. It’s not an easy task getting those services to be willing to share data or to be transparent enough with that data to meet Billboard's reporting requirements.

Emmy Awards are nominated by votes, votes from the public. The potential bias is that famous actors with many fans may have the upperhand because they can just tell their fans to vote as much as poosible. In result, the winner chosen can potentially be held by the most "fans" not actors who perform best. Actors with less fans are most likely outnumbered by the ones with more.

The use of male crash test dummies does not reflect the characteristics of females, so where a car is deemed safe, it might not be the case if the driver was female.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Researchers have known for decades that women are more likely to be killed or injured in a car crash. Why haven't safety regulators done anything about it?
An average adult female crash test dummy simply does not exist. That absence has set the course for four decades' worth of car safety design, with deadly consequences.

One way that automakers and safety advocates are addressing inequality in the short term is by developing computer models that can simulate how human bodies of different shapes, sizes, or sexes react in a crash.

I'm not going to get into the long, sad history of the Grammys being an immense disappointment. I don't need to recap the same mistakes this rapidly fading institution has made in the last few years. You don't need me to list out all the artists-titans of the industry today-who have publicly denounced the Recording Academy for its history of ignoring the talents of women, of people of color, of rap music, of Latin music, on, and on, and on.

This was supposed to be the year that the Grammys were going to turn it around after the public humiliation following accusations made by ousted Recording Academy chief executive Deb Dugan.

Nope. Not the case. After a disastrous year for the music industry, in which artists still managed to produce some incredible music in uncertain times, the Recording Academy produced a list of nominees for the 2021 Grammys that are absolutely baffling.

Look no further than the Album of the Year category, which includes Post Malone and Coldplay, who you didn't even know was still releasing music. Jacob Collier? Strangely, Black Pumas made the cut with the deluxe version of an album that was released outside of the eligibility window. No love for The Weeknd's chart-smashing album. No general category nominations for Fiona Apple, whose Fetch the Bolt Cutters seemed like a lock for Album of the Year. The same goes for Bad Bunny, and Latin music in general, which didn't see any love in the major categories when the genre is the dominant force in pop music right now. Even BTS, the biggest band in the world, couldn't even get a major category nod for Song of the Year. You've even got Justin Bieber complaining about his three nominations, which only shows that no one is happy with these nominations.

There are some highlights, yes. It's wonderful to see all women in some country music categories and rock categories. I'm thrilled for Haim, Dua Lipa, and, of course, Megan Thee Stallion. Hell, I love that Taylor Swift album. It's also wonderful to see Beyonce lead the nominations with nine, but it's hard not to feel like it's too little too late after she's been historically snubbed by this voting body (remember the Lemonade debacle?). I would be astonished if Beyonce even bothered tuning into a digital ceremony.

The rap categories are mostly boring. No Run the Jewels or Mac Miller or Lil Uzi Vert. And Best New Artist includes either musicians who should be in the major categories (Phoebe Bridgers and Megan Thee Stallion), or artists who have been making Grammy-worthy albums for years (Kaytranada), or artists who simply have no place being there (Noah Cyrus, really?).

It's a huge disappointing mess, but what should we expect from a year like 2020 and an institution like the Grammys? It feels like one big set-up to ensure Grammys darling Taylor Swift takes home Song and Album of the Year.

The system itself is already quite broken since people could vote for the game that they have never played or owned before. Steam also 'pushed' people to vote as it reward voter with game cards. With an already unverifiable votes, the awards will also be more biased toward popular games instead of good quality games so doesn't matter what the category is if it's more popular then it could win.

There is a potential bias as this INDIVIDUAL award takes into account TEAM performances, which clouds judgement and does not really tell us which footballer is better, but more to which footballer won the most team awards.
Example of clear bias shown below

It doesn't neccesarily represent which country is the strongest.

The formula of the point calculation in the ranking follows such as:
Points = M (points for match result) * I (importance of match) * T (strength of opponent) * C (strength of confederation)

It doesn't take into account the home advantage or goal differences in matches. So for example if England won 10-0 to San Marino in friendly match with their youth squad , and Spain with their full team won 1-0 to San Marino in EURO Cup, Spain will get higher point instead

It is used to give credits to entities that is regarded as the number one of their claimed proficiency.

Potential bias in these records is the possibility that not all individuals on Earth might know about the existence of Guinness World Record, preventing them from making claims.

Another bias would be these records increases an enlisted company's reputation while not confirming its actual quality. For example, restaurants that claim as having the world's biggest foods doesn't necessarily imply that the product is of high quality. People will still come to the restaurant and try its food due to the reputation gained following the publication.

Potential bias is that it tends to award the established artists. And music is such a subjective matter, therefore there was problems regarding the nominations and judging process.

"...winners are chosen by a shadowy process of industry insiders. ... the Recording Academy released a largely baffling, disappointing, and downright infuriating list of Grammy nominees in November."

One major artist(the Weeknd) tweeted the following.

When you want to filter the colleges, 2 main components of quality indicator is acceptance and graduation rate. A lower acceptance rate is preferable which could create risk that colleges are simplifying application process so that more students can apply for the university, hence there are more to reject (decreases rate making it look like a harder college to get into).

Also, before clicking for more detail on the college, highlights only show 'graduation rate',  'salary after completing', and 'average annual cost' which means that the college could prioritize improving certain aspects without having to increase quality of anything tangible about the college itself. Things like quality of teachers, facilities, and athletic accomplishment are not taken into account.

The possible bias from the HSK or Chinese Proficiency Test is from its grading system that does not include speaking. The HSK only includes reading, writing, and listening.
