The graphic was originally created by Sean Carmody for A Stubborn Mule's Perpective, using the R statistical project. The program that generated the graphic is given below; the data was sourced from the Guardian, saved as a CSV file called "1000.csv" and slightly edited to clean the data (some years were formatted in the original source as currency). Note also that there are, in fact, slightly fewer than 1000 songs in the list and a few of them are duplicated in different categories.

There were not many songs in the list prior to the 1960s, so they have all been grouped in a single bin for the mosaic plot.

data <- read.csv("1000.csv", as.is=c(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE))

data$DECADE <- floor(data$YEAR/10) * 10
data$BAND <- paste(data$DECADE, "s", sep="")
data$BAND[data$DECADE < 1960] <- "1910s-50s"

plot(table(data$BAND, data$THEME), col=rainbow(7), las=1, main="")
 
This chart was created with R.
