For this assignment I will be scraping a website of data in order to create a visual that might give some insight into the collected data
The goal of this project is to analyze the top 50 best-selling singles of all time in the UK and create visualizations to show the top 10 best-selling singles and the relationship between release date and sales.
The source data used in this project is from the Official Charts Company and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. The data was accessed on March 1, 2023, from this webpage: https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-best-selling-singles-of-all-time-on-the-official-uk-chart__21298/.
The data contains the following attributes for the top 50 best-selling singles of all time in the UK:
Title: The title of the single. Artist: The artist or group who performed the single. Sales: The number of units sold in the UK. Release Date: The date the single was released.
There are no known issues with the code. However, there may be sources of bias in the collection of the data, such as differences in sales recording practices over time, differences in popularity of different genres of music, and the impact of marketing and promotion on sales.
