T-swift dominates the Billboard Hot 100

Taylor Swift introduced her most current album “Midnights” at the close of Oct 2022 and for the 7 days of November 5th, 2022 it held all of the Top rated 10 places on the Billboard Very hot 100. This appeared rather amazing but we considered it would make feeling to go to the data and see just how remarkable. Thankfully, there is a Python package to pull info from the Billboard charts and working with Domo’s Jupyter Notebook integration we can conveniently pull that details into Domo (I will be aware that this perform was my 1st time producing python code from scratch on my possess and I am really proud that I concluded this do the job with just a small little bit of code assessment/revision from my staff). For this evaluation, we pulled the Billboard Scorching 100 tracks by 7 days again to 1982 so we have 40 many years of history. The Jupyter code for getting this knowledge can be identified listed here if you want to try out it you.

Let us get to that info. Not incredibly, this is the initially time a solitary artist had all Major 10 songs for a one 7 days as we can see in the underneath chart. Drake came close in September 2021 with 9 of the Leading 10 music and 7 for a single week in July 2018. Interestingly, if I transform the evaluation to look at the Top 20, both equally Taylor Swift and Drake experienced a person week with 14 tracks in the Major 20 (shout out to the new Domo variables function which will allow for this quick adjustment in the charts beneath) .

Possibly a single 7 days is far too small of a timeframe to study and I also puzzled if this focus of Leading 10 songs is a extra modern phenomenon of the streaming era. The chart below displays the range of artists with a certain range of Best 10 tracks in a supplied 12 months (fairly than just one particular 7 days). You can see that it is only in current decades that artists have experienced more than 6 songs in the Top rated 10 across a presented 12 months (the 1st time remaining in 2018). Prior to that it was very exceptional to have several tunes in the Best 10 in just one year.

You can go on to explore the 40 several years of Billboard details under the facts will update weekly) and use the variables to adjust which metric or ranges to examine. One last interesting tidbit that stunned me a little bit when searching at the selection of exceptional songs on the Incredibly hot 100, the most special tunes by an artist goes to the cast of Glee with 206 distinct songs showing up on the Incredibly hot 100. Granted you could argue these are handles of other artists but I nonetheless identified that to be really a surprise. Have entertaining checking out the info.
