T-swift dominates the Billboard Scorching 100

Taylor Swift launched her newest album “Nighttimes” on the finish of October 2022 and for the week of November fifth, 2022 it held the entire Most sensible 10 spots at the Billboard Scorching 100. This gave the impression relatively spectacular however we concept it could make sense to visit the knowledge and notice simply how spectacular. Thankfully, there’s a Python package deal to drag information from the Billboard charts and the use of Domo’s Jupyter Pocket book integration we will be able to simply pull that information into Domo (I can be aware that this paintings used to be my first time writing python code from scratch by myself and I’m relatively proud that I finished this paintings with just a bit little bit of code evaluation/revision from my crew). For this research, we pulled the Billboard Scorching 100 songs via week again to 1982 so we’ve 40 years of historical past. The Jupyter code for purchasing this information will also be discovered right here if you wish to have to take a look at it your self.

Let’s get to that information. Now not unusually, that is the primary time a unmarried artist had all Most sensible 10 songs for a unmarried week as we will be able to see within the under chart. Drake got here shut in September 2021 with 9 of the Most sensible 10 songs and seven for one week in July 2018. Apparently, if I alter the research to have a look at the Most sensible 20, each Taylor Swift and Drake had one week with 14 songs within the Most sensible 20 (shout out to the brand new Domo variables function which permits for this fast adjustment within the charts under) .

Possibly one week is just too in need of a time frame to inspect and I additionally questioned if this focus of Most sensible 10 songs is a extra fashionable phenomenon of the streaming technology. The chart under presentations the collection of artists with a definite collection of Most sensible 10 songs in a given yr (reasonably than only one week). You’ll see that it is just in recent times that artists have had greater than 6 songs within the Most sensible 10 throughout a given yr (the primary time being in 2018). Previous to that it used to be relatively uncommon to have more than one songs within the Most sensible 10 in twelve months.

You’ll proceed to discover the 40 years of Billboard information under the knowledge will replace weekly) and use the variables to regulate which metric or levels to inspect. One final fascinating tidbit that stunned me a little bit when taking a look on the collection of distinctive songs at the Scorching 100, essentially the most distinctive songs via an artist is going to the forged of Glee with 206 other songs showing at the Scorching 100. Granted you’ll want to argue those are covers of alternative artists however I nonetheless discovered that to be relatively a marvel. Have a laugh exploring the knowledge.
