Each „country“ on the map is a genre, and its size is determined by the number of releases that year. I used a logarithmic scale to ensure that smaller genres remain visible next to giants like Pop and Rock. The macro-continents are anchored to cardinal directions to keep the layout stable during timeline transitions.
