Artists with the most releases
Right now Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. Of course, they are CSG cheaters :-), so the real winners are probably more Grateful Dead (1,146 releases), Nirvana (90's US grunge band) (754 releases) and Metallica (540 releases). More such stats at
MbMysql -- dmppanda 2007-12-05 14:55:28 And Mozart creeps into the #2 spot, leaving it Mozart 1544, Bach 1536, Beethoven 1286, Grateful Dead 1146, Nirvana 742, Metallica 550 and Pearl Jam 540, for the artists with more than 500 releases.

Longest track/album titles
List of most Subscribed Artist and list of most Subscribing Moderators --ClutchEr2
List of artists with most anonymous subscribers --azertus
Most popular album title and track titles --Fuchs
My guess: Greatest Hits for album title. --Zout
right (in case you exclude "[non-album-tracks]"), followed by Live, The Best Of, The Collection, Best Of, The Very Best Of, Demo, Super Hits, Collection, Love Songs, Gold, Anthology, Ultimate Collection ... - So I think, it doesn't make much sense to put this on the trivia page.
--Fuchs
The first (most used) somewhat original titles are One, Shine, Home and Forever, and the somewhat ubiquitous [untitled] -- dmppanda 2007-12-05 14:55:28
Of course, Album with most CDId and tracks with most TRM. Also most lookuped TRM and, if available, most lookuped CDId. --ClutchEr2
I think most lookuped TRM info won't be available any more since the TRM stats were turned off for performance reasons. --Shepard
Youngest and oldest artists --azertus
I would say:
Jordy (4 years old for his first release) and
Jeanne Calmant (121 years old). Note that both these wonders are french, and that you really shouldn't buy/hear that stuff
--dmppanda
Joy Gruttmann was also 4 years old, when she sung her first song.

Timeline with birthdays and deathdays of artists, founding and splitting dates of groups, group members' joining and leaving dates, and release dates. Possibly other dates I'm not thinking of right now. --FrederikSOlesen
First ever (commercially) released vinyl. First ever (commercially) released CD. First ever (commercially) released errr, thing, stuff, whatever, with music on it. -- dmppanda 2007-02-28 16:53:34
