Simply by reading data and statistics of the charting positions of popular songs on global and national music charts, it is hard to understand how the popularity of songs, albums, or artists within pop music truly behave over time. However, analyzing the data using visualizations as means of communication might provide us with new points of view and new insights into how the popularity of contemporary popular music behaves over a longer period. This is the hypothesis that we intend to investigate in this thesis. An interactive visualization application (presented as a website) has been developed based on data from “Daily Top 200” lists provided by Spotify. A survey was then used to evaluate the application, with the results suggesting that new and interesting insights into the trends in the popularity of music can be gained from the proposed prototype.
