i don't think this shows what you intended it to.

This just shows that over time the song count went up and the IMDB score went down. We can not conclude that the score went down because the count went up.

The "interesting" plot (and I mean that strictly in data terms, couldn't care less about Glee) would be with these two parameters on the X- and Y-axis.

I'm currently working with this data, so thank you for the suggestion. I did calculate the correlation between song increases and IMDb scores, and it concluded there was a weak correlation. However, the seasons that rank higher (S1 and S2, mainly) have the fewest amount of songs per episode.

Given a song count, what's the IMDB rating? This seems like a problem that could be rewritten as a conditional probability. The reverse might also be possible, given an IMDB rating, what's the probability distribution of it's song count?
