Taylor Swift launched her newest album “Hours of darkness” on the finish of October 2022 and for the week of November fifth, 2022 it held the entire Best 10 spots at the Billboard Sizzling 100. This gave the impression fairly spectacular however we concept it will make sense to visit the information and notice simply how spectacular. Thankfully, there’s a Python bundle to tug 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 will be able to word that this paintings was once my first time writing python code from scratch by myself and I’m fairly proud that I finished this paintings with just a bit little bit of code evaluate/revision from my workforce). For this research, we pulled the Billboard Sizzling 100 songs via week again to 1982 so now we have 40 years of historical past. The Jupyter code for buying this knowledge will also be discovered right here if you need 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 Best 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 Best 10 songs and seven for one week in July 2018. Curiously, if I alter the research to take a look at the Best 20, each Taylor Swift and Drake had one week with 14 songs within the Best 20 (shout out to the brand new Domo variables characteristic which permits for this fast adjustment within the charts under) . Perhaps one week is just too in need of a time frame to inspect and I additionally puzzled if this focus of Best 10 songs is a extra fashionable phenomenon of the streaming generation. The chart under presentations the selection of artists with a definite selection of Best 10 songs in a given 12 months (relatively than only one week). You’ll see that it is just lately that artists have had greater than 6 songs within the Best 10 throughout a given 12 months (the primary time being in 2018). Previous to that it was once fairly uncommon to have more than one songs within the Best 10 in 12 months. You’ll proceed to discover the 40 years of Billboard information under the information will replace weekly) and use the variables to regulate which metric or levels to inspect. One remaining attention-grabbing tidbit that stunned me a little bit when having a look on the selection of distinctive songs at the Sizzling 100, essentially the most distinctive songs via an artist is going to the solid of Glee with 206 other songs showing at the Sizzling 100. Granted you must argue those are covers of different artists however I nonetheless discovered that to be fairly a wonder. Have a laugh exploring the information.
