Depends on the size of the room, how much they spend, how long they stay, whether they leave and return later, etc., etc...

Too many variables.

Almost like asking, "Do you walk to work or carry your lunch"?

Slow can be 0.
Busy can be 30.

Depends on a number of variables.

Ok I guess this question is not very specific.
But On the weekends here singers are lucky if they sing twice, thats how busy it gets here and why we do it 7 days a week.
once we start getting busy it just blows up.
so I'm Not talking aqbout the first 4 people that show up early, I'm talking about the max number at its peak you have in a night?
If We have under 20 it's a really slow night REALLY!!! Slow!!!

I don't understand either. I consider having 10 people singing constantly with a few new ones coming in or out, being just as busy for me as having to put songs in for someone new and never having a round complete itself.

If you are asking how much business the bar does, then that's a totally different question. All of us have those types of places available, but few of us do karaoke in them. Personally, they would have to pay me a hell of a lot more money to work there. I like my crowds and have good personal relationships with almost all of our singers, even if there are only 15 or 20 each night.

When we play parties, it almost always involves some of these singers.

We always have at least 50 total singers, sometimes 75.
But we are entertaining enough for another whole group of ppl just to come and listen and dance and just to be there that also spend money (and never sing a song) at the place and always hire us for their weddings, house parties, etc., etc.

I was gathering he was asking how many singers would you have from a starting singer to an ending singer before going back to the starting singer (a 'round' or rotation), not how many singers can you get in a night. An average 'round' for me would be 15-20 on weeknights from a begining point to an ending point before starting back to the first singer. On weekends it's about 30-40.
If you are going by how many individual singers do you an average a night, that would be sometimes hard to count it may be the same 15-20 singers all night or with singers coming in & leaving, that number could go higher for actual individual singers, it would be hard to track.
You can only get so many singers total per any night which for a 4 hour period would be about 50-70 singers 'total' depending on the song lengths - so if that is the question, then everyone will pretty much have the same answer based on a 4 hour night.
