A standard metric of a song's popularity in the U.S. is its appearance (or not) and its ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This weekly list ranks the songs based on their album sales, radio airplay, and online streaming statistics in the U.S.
Objective: Examine the characteristics of popular songs released between 2010-2018 using the Spotify audio features. The data---e.g., danceability, energy, acousticness, and tempo---are obtained using Spotipy, a Python library for accessing and interacting with the Spotify API. Try to classify a song as a Hot 100 hit (ongoing part of the project).
