Music Trends Over Time

Data Methodology

The following plots come from a dataset I found in Kaggle, called Top Hits Spotify from 2000-2019. It contains 2000 songs on Spotify from 2000 to 2019, although there were also some songs from 1999 that I included. It contains multiple different variables for each song, such as the ones listed in the “Home” page.
