🐢 Koopa: The Most Beloved Video Game Music Ever?

Koopa: a data-driven analysis of video game music (VGM) popularity using Spotify and YouTube streaming data. Think Billboard Hot 100, but for VGM.

Live Demo • Case Study • Tableau Dashboard

Key Findings

42% of tracks are from Nintendo franchises (Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong)
Only 9% of tracks have Spotify releases credited before 2010, but 56% of games were released before 2010, showing classic VGM's lasting appeal through streaming platforms
38% covers performed well but 33% originals showed slightly better engagement
Discovery opportunities: Modern indie games (ULTRAKILL, Undertale) show strong organic growth
Cyberpunk 2077 and ULTRAKILL emerged as unexpected modern hits
Strong positive correlation (r = 0.663) between Spotify popularity and YouTube views
