Spotify Data Analysis

Overview

This project focuses on analyzing and visualizing Spotify streaming history data to gain insights into listening habits and preferences. The dataset used for this analysis contains detailed information about the user's listening history, including the date, time, artist, track, and duration of each played song.

Motivation

The goal of this project is to explore the patterns and trends within the user's Spotify streaming history and extract meaningful insights. By analyzing the data, we aim to answer questions such as:

• What are the user's most frequently listened to artists and tracks?
• Are there any noticeable patterns in listening habits, such as specific time periods or days of the week when the user listens to music the most?
• Can we identify any favorite genres or music styles based on the user's listening history?
• How has the user's listening behavior changed over time?

Data Source

The data used for this analysis was obtained from the Spotify streaming history feature, which provides users with a downloadable dataset containing their listening history. The dataset is in JSON format and includes information such as track name, artist, album, and timestamp.

Tools and Libraries Used

• Python
• Jupyter Notebook
• Pandas
• Matplotlib
• Seaborn

Project Structure

• Data: This folder contains the Spotify streaming history data file (spotify_streaming_history.json).
• Spotify-Wrapped.ipynb: This file contains the Jupyter Notebook files used for preprocessing the raw data, cleaning, and transforming it into a suitable format for analysis, performing exploratory data analysis, generating visualizations, and extracting insights from the data.
• Graphs: This folder contains the visualizations generated during the analysis, including charts, graphs, and plots.

Conclusion

This project offers an extensive examination of Spotify streaming history data, revealing valuable insights into user listening behaviors, preferences, and trends. Through data analysis and visualizations, we aim to gain deeper insights into users' musical choices and patterns. These findings have practical applications in personalization, enhancing recommendation systems, and advancing the field of music analysis.
