Overdose Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Not sure if this is in the right subforum, but I found this site where you can search for a track and get all sorts of data from Spotify. Apparently Spotify does not want to disclose exact streaming numbers so it calculates a popularity score. Seeing the top 10 tracks of an artist in different countries and seeing how danceable a track is/how much energy it has etc. is pretty interesting . Also I think it only works on computers/laptops right now and not on your phone. How popular is your fave on Spotify?

Letemtalk Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Lorde - 80 I'm not sure how the popularity index works. There must be some sort of averaging to represent current popularity, rather than total streams. There are some good features even if they do need some work. The formatting of the track section is messed up. Spotify 3 markets false Explicit C Key This should read ... Spotify markets 3 Explicit false Key C The next lines have the key and mode, but many songs contradict the published sheet music, which makes you wonder how they got the key. Was there a computer analysis or does it lookup a song database? The success rate for the Top three Lorde songs isn't good. Lorde - Royals Key G mode major Perhaps it doesn't understand D Mixolydian. Lorde - Green Light Key A mode major Mostly correct for the verse at least. Some people have suggested the song contains a key change, or it's another mixolydian composition, but overall this one gets a pass. Lorde - Liability Key A# mode minor This contradicts wikipedia (D flat major) and all published sheet music that I've seen. One interesting part is the Top Tracks section where there are some differences between national preferences. Royals and Team are considered less popular in Japan when compared to Melodrama. Did Japan only get added to Spotify quite recently? The release dates are also kinda weird for some songs, but overall the site is quite interesting.

The mode/key etc. is determined by an algorithm by Echonest (a company Spotify bought). The scores behind the mode/key are the confidence of the algorith in its classification. It might be hard to read because of the formatting ... especially on mobile/smaller screens Spotify's description of their popularity score: The popularity of a track is a value between 0 and 100, with 100 being the most popular. The popularity is calculated by algorithm and is based, in the most part, on the total number of plays the track has had and how recent those plays are. Generally speaking, songs that are being played a lot now will have a higher popularity than songs that were played a lot in the past. Duplicate tracks (e.g. the same track from a single and an album) are rated independently. I think that weird release-dates/switches in popularity scores per country happen because sometimes there are multiple versions of a song available.

I think that weird release-dates/switches in popularity scores per country happen because sometimes there are multiple versions of a song available. Taking another look, it seems that in the case of Melodrama they reissued the album with one new track and the re-released album displays the new date, even when you select a track that was released on the original version of the album (which is still on Spotify) and all the tracks (except for the one new one) are unchanged from the original. It shows 2013-01-01 for the Pure Heroine album, so that part also needs some work. Regarding the readability, I'm using a laptop not a phone, Just checked on my 8 inch tablet and it looks better than on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
