Here is the weekly publishing of the 70K Bands stats!
For all the newbie, check out the Unofficial iOS/Android App for the 70,000 Tons Metal Cruise 70K Bands. The tool is free, open source, and with no advertising or other revenue incentives. It's here for the benefit of the cruisers provided by your fellow cruisers.
Here is a video walk through of the app

If video isn't your thing, we have a more traditional manual

One feature of the app is to let you rank the bands as Must, Might, or Wont. These stats are anonymously collected and shared back with the community.
