Taylor Swift launched her newest album “Midnights” on the finish of October 2022 and for the week of November fifth, 2022 it held all the High 10 spots on the Billboard Sizzling 100. This appeared fairly spectacular however we thought it will make sense to go to the info and see simply how spectacular. Fortunately, there’s a Python bundle to drag information from the Billboard charts and utilizing Domo’s Jupyter Pocket book integration we are able to simply pull that information into Domo (I’ll observe that this work was my first time writing python code from scratch alone and I’m fairly proud that I accomplished this work with just a bit little bit of code evaluation/revision from my crew). For this evaluation, we pulled the Billboard Sizzling 100 songs by week again to 1982 so we’ve 40 years of historical past. The Jupyter code for getting this information will be discovered right here if you wish to strive it your self.

Let’s get to that information. Not surprisingly, that is the primary time a single artist had all High 10 songs for a single week as we are able to see within the under chart. Drake got here shut in September 2021 with 9 of the High 10 songs and seven for one week in July 2018. Curiously, if I modify the evaluation to have a look at the High 20, each Taylor Swift and Drake had one week with 14 songs within the High 20 (shout out to the brand new Domo variables characteristic which permits for this fast adjustment within the charts under) .

Possibly one week is just too in need of a timeframe to look at and I additionally questioned if this focus of High 10 songs is a extra fashionable phenomenon of the streaming period. The chart under reveals the variety of artists with a sure variety of High 10 songs in a given 12 months (moderately than only one week). You possibly can see that it’s only lately that artists have had greater than 6 songs within the High 10 throughout a given 12 months (the primary time being in 2018). Previous to that it was fairly uncommon to have a number of songs within the High 10 in a single 12 months.

You possibly can proceed to discover the 40 years of Billboard information under the info will replace weekly) and use the variables to regulate which metric or ranges to look at. One final attention-grabbing tidbit that shocked me a bit when trying on the variety of distinctive songs on the Sizzling 100, essentially the most distinctive songs by an artist goes to the solid of Glee with 206 completely different songs showing on the Sizzling 100. Granted you would argue these are covers of different artists however I nonetheless discovered that to be fairly a shock. Have enjoyable exploring the info.
