50% of shows, by definition, have to be below average.
Only if you are using the Median as your measure of "average". ;) And even then this will not be true if you have an odd number of shows. But seriously I keep hearing this "rule" stated; and it's not true.

Let's say, for example, they play a 4.5, 4.5, 5.5, and then a perfect 10. Well you can find the "mean" of this by adding up the scores and dividing by 4. You get 6.125, and three-quarters of the shows fell below this mark!
