The chart displays the top 10 Spotify artists ranked by monthly listeners over the past year, providing a visual comparison of which performers hold the largest global audiences.

This visualization offers context into overall popularity rather than short-term momentum, showing which artists consistently attract the largest fanbases on Spotify.

The danceability and artist popularity plot doesn’t really show any strong or clear relationship. The points are all over the place, with no real upward or downward trend showing up. This would suggest that how danceable a song is doesn’t strongly depend on how popular the artist is.

The duration of a song also does not seem to have a strong connection to danceability.The points are fairly spread out, with no pattern indicating that longer or shorter songs would always be more or less danceable.

Compared to the other plots, the Energy vs. Danceability plot shows a slightly clearer pattern. Based on this graph, it seems that there might be a rather weak positive relationship. We can see that songs that have higher energy tend to have somewhat higher danceability scores.
