The covariates are: Elvis = 1 if the recording was by Elvis Presley, = 0 otherwise; Beatles = 1 if the recording was by the Beatles, = 0 otherwise; Group = 1 if the recording was by a band, = 0 otherwise; Female = 1 if the artist was a solo female, = 0 otherwise; Male = 1 if the artist was a solo male, = 0 otherwise; Inst = 1 if the recording was purely instrumental, = 0 otherwise; and NonCon = 1 if the recording topped the charts in nonconsecutive weeks, = 0 otherwise.
