T-swift dominates the Billboard Hot 100

Taylor Swift introduced her most recent album “Midnights” at the conclude of Oct 2022 and for the 7 days of November 5th, 2022 it held all of the Top rated 10 spots on the Billboard Scorching 100. This appeared rather extraordinary but we assumed it would make perception to go to the data and see just how impressive. Fortunately, there is a Python bundle to pull information from the Billboard charts and employing Domo’s Jupyter Notebook integration we can quickly pull that information into Domo (I will be aware that this function was my first time writing python code from scratch on my possess and I am pretty proud that I completed this do the job with just a minor bit of code assessment/revision from my group). For this investigation, we pulled the Billboard Incredibly hot 100 songs by 7 days back again to 1982 so we have 40 a long time of history. The Jupyter code for having this data can be identified right here if you want to check out it on your own.

Let’s get to that data. Not astonishingly, this is the initial time a single artist had all Best 10 music for a solitary week as we can see in the beneath chart. Drake came close in September 2021 with 9 of the Major 10 tunes and 7 for 1 week in July 2018. Apparently, if I adjust the examination to search at the Prime 20, both equally Taylor Swift and Drake experienced one particular 7 days with 14 tunes in the Leading 20 (shout out to the new Domo variables function which lets for this speedy adjustment in the charts underneath) .

Probably one particular 7 days is far too limited of a timeframe to study and I also wondered if this concentration of Prime 10 tunes is a additional present day phenomenon of the streaming era. The chart beneath shows the number of artists with a specified number of Top rated 10 songs in a provided 12 months (instead than just just one week). You can see that it is only in current a long time that artists have experienced additional than 6 songs in the Top rated 10 throughout a supplied yr (the initial time staying in 2018). Prior to that it was really exceptional to have several tracks in the Top rated 10 in just one yr.

You can continue on to investigate the 40 many years of Billboard facts below the information will update weekly) and use the variables to regulate which metric or ranges to study. A single previous intriguing tidbit that stunned me a little bit when on the lookout at the selection of unique tracks on the Scorching 100, the most special tunes by an artist goes to the solid of Glee with 206 unique music appearing on the Warm 100. Granted you could argue these are covers of other artists but I however identified that to be pretty a surprise. Have enjoyable checking out the details.
