In this analysis, the data is grouped by the released year and month. The average number of streams and total playlists for each combination is calculated.
The group with the lowest average number of streams is identified and tagged as the “Lowest Prob Group.”
The visualization shows the average streams over months for each year, highlighting the differences.

Insight:
The graph shows that the average number of streams has increased dramatically over time. In the 1930s, the average number of streams per month was less than 100,000. By the 2020s, the average number of streams per month was over 2 billion.
There are a few possible explanations for this increase. One possibility is that the population has grown, so there are simply more people listening to music. Another possibility is that people are listening to music more often than they used to. Additionally, the invention of streaming services has made it much easier for people to listen to music, which may have also contributed to the increase in streams.
The graph also shows some interesting patterns within each year. For example, in the 2020s, the average number of streams is highest in the summer months and lowest in the winter months. This may be because people are more likely to listen to music when they are outdoors and on vacation.
Overall, the graph shows that the music industry has undergone a major transformation in recent years. Streaming services have made it easier than ever for people to listen to music, and this has led to a dramatic increase in the number of streams per month.
2. Grouping by Key and Mode
This section groups the data by key and mode, summarizing the average valence and energy.
The group with the lowest combined average valence and energy is tagged as the “Lowest Prob Group Key Mode.”
The bar plot visualizes the average valence + energy for each key and mode combination.
# Grouping by Key and Mode
grouped_by_key_mode <- data |>
group_by(key, mode) |>
summarise(avg_valence = mean(valence_.),
avg_energy = mean(energy_.))## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'key'. You can override using the `.groups`
## argument.# Find the group with the lowest probability
lowest_prob_group_key_mode <- grouped_by_key_mode |>
filter(avg_valence+avg_energy == min(avg_valence+avg_energy))

ggplot(grouped_by_key_mode, aes(x = key, y = avg_valence + avg_energy, fill = mode)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "dodge") +
labs(title = "Average Valence + Energy for Each Key and Mode",
x = "Key",
y = "Average Valence + Energy",
fill = "Mode")
Insight:
The average values for each key are all very similar, and the average energies for each mode are also very similar. However, there are some small differences that can be observed.
For example, the average value for C# Major is slightly higher than the average value for the other keys. This means that, on average, songs in C# Major tend to have higher values than songs in other keys. Similarly, the average energy for Major mode is slightly higher than the average energy for Minor mode. This means that, on average, songs in Major mode tend to have higher energy than songs in Minor mode.
However, it is important to note that these differences are very small. The vast majority of the songs in the dataset have values and energies that are within the normal range. This means that the differences between keys and modes are not very significant, and they should not be overstated.
Overall, the graph shows that there is no real difference between the average values and energies of different keys and modes. This suggests that the key and mode of a song do not have a significant impact on its value or energy.
Additional insights
The small differences between the average values and energies of different keys and modes may be due to random chance.
The small differences between the average values and energies of different keys and modes may be due to the fact that the dataset is relatively small.
The small differences between the average values and energies of different keys and modes may be due to the fact that the dataset is not representative of all music
3. Grouping by Danceability Percentage
The data is grouped by danceability percentage ranges using the cut function. The group with the lowest average streams is tagged as the “Lowest Prob Group Danceability.” The bar plot visualizes the average streams for different danceability ranges.
# Grouping by Danceability Percentage
grouped_by_danceability <- data |>
group_by(cut(danceability_., breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100))) |>
summarise(avg_streams = mean(streams),
total_playlists = sum(in_spotify_playlists))
# Find the group with the lowest probability
lowest_prob_group_danceability <- grouped_by_danceability |>
filter(avg_streams == min(avg_streams))
lowest_prob_group_danceability## # A tibble: 1 × 3
## cut(danceability_., breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80…¹ avg_streams total_playlists

## # ℹ abbreviated name:
## # ¹`cut(danceability_., breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100))`# Tagging the lowest probability group in the original dataset
data$lowest_prob_group_danceability <- ifelse(cut(data$danceability_., breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100)) == lowest_prob_group_danceability$`cut(danceability_., breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100))`, "Lowest Prob Group Danceability", "Other Groups")
# Visualization
ggplot(grouped_by_danceability, aes(x = `cut(danceability_., breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100))`, y = avg_streams, fill = `cut(danceability_., breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100))`)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
labs(title = "Average Streams for Different Danceability Ranges",
x = "Danceability Range",
y = "Average Streams",
fill = "Danceability Range")
Insight:
Songs in the highest danceability range (80-100) have the most streams, with an average of over 60 million streams per month.
Songs in the lowest danceability range (20-40) have the fewest streams, with an average of less than 20 million streams per month.
There is a relatively small difference in the average number of streams between the two middle danceability ranges (40-60 and 60-80).
Sure, here’s an interpretation of the graph you sent me, showing the average number of streams for different danceability ranges.
The graph shows that there is a positive correlation between danceability and the number of streams. In other words, the more danceable a song is, the more streams it gets on average. This makes sense, as people are more likely to listen to songs that they can dance to.
Here are some specific insights from the graph:
Songs in the highest danceability range (80-100) have the most streams, with an average of over 60 million streams per month.
Songs in the lowest danceability range (20-40) have the fewest streams, with an average of less than 20 million streams per month.
There is a relatively small difference in the average number of streams between the two middle danceability ranges (40-60 and 60-80).
It’s important to note that these are just averages, and there is a lot of variation in the number of streams that individual songs get. For example, there are some songs in the lowest danceability range that have more streams than some songs in the highest danceability range.
Here are some possible explanations for the positive correlation between danceability and the number of streams:
Danceable songs are more likely to be featured on playlists and radio stations.
Danceable songs are more likely to be shared on social media.
People are more likely to listen to danceable songs when they are working out or doing other activities.
Overall, the graph suggests that danceability is an important factor in the success of a song on streaming services. If you’re a musician or songwriter, you may want to consider making your music more danceable if you’re hoping to get more streams.
Combinations of Categorical Variables (Key and Mode)
Unique combinations of key and mode are identified, and missing combinations are explored. The most and least common combinations are visualized with bar plots.

ggplot(most_common_combinations, aes(x = key, y = count, fill = mode)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "dodge") +
labs(title = "Most Common Combinations of Key and Mode",
x = "Key",
y = "Count",
fill = "Mode")
Specific observations:
The most common key and mode combination is C major, with a count of 58.
The only minor keys that are more common than some major keys are A minor and E minor.
Keys with more than four sharps or flats are generally less common, with the exception of E major and B major.
Keys with more than three flats are generally less common, with the exception of F minor and Bb minor.
Here are some possible explanations for these trends:
Ease of playing: Keys with fewer sharps or flats are generally easier to play on many instruments, which may make them more popular among musicians.
Music theory: Certain key and mode combinations are more commonly used in certain musical styles or genres. For example, C major is commonly used in classical music, while E minor is commonly used in rock music.
Cultural factors: Some keys and modes may be more culturally significant than others, which could influence their popularity.
