Changelog #2

Small adjustments and QoL

  • Ridge line plot is now draggable. Great for monitoring artist dominance and growth/diminishment cycles over time.
  • Transition animations have been implemented in genre view, at the request of eager chart enjoyers. Goes great with the draggable ridge line plot! Give it a whirl!
  • Bubble text will now fit to the bubble's size. Artists with longer names get line broken to fit their bubbles (though mileage may vary).

What's in the works for next time?

  • Instagram formatting test flight: Playing with media queries at an exact 1080x1440 pixel view (3:4 aspect ratio). Determining how best to resize elements for Instagram profile feed visibility, where to place Novem watermarks, user handle, chart id, tags, etc.
  • Additional transition animations between genre view and artist view. I'm sure d3 has got me covered with this one.

Changelog #1

This plot's been updated and is now more interactible than the previous iteration!

  • Bubbles are now clickable which "drills down" one layer, detailing streaming share of each artist belonging to that genre.
  • Bar chart has been replaced with a ridge line plot. I got rid of the scrubber, but it is still navigable. Hovering over the plot previews a stat overview from that date. Click anywhere on the ridge line plot to navigate to that highlighted date. This also works while in the detailed bubble view for any given genre.
  • Color scheme has been updated. The previous palette resembled that of generic party balloons. It's now placed on a gradient color scale. More purple = larger stream share <------> smaller stream share = more bourbon. Sleek and pleasant.

Note: The "other" category is not viewable, as a detailed view would basically display heaps of uniformally sized bubbles; one for every track. Neither particularly useful nor aesthetically pleasing.

This one drew me in! Has a nice pull to it. Is it Kvinnedagen on March 8 that means everyone just listens to pop music?
Really went for the cyberpunk color palette with this one! As for the March 8th bump, my money's on it both being international women's day as well as March 7th data being a duplicate of March 6th data. Note how Rihanna suddenly had hundreds of thousands more streams on several older songs between March 7th and March 8th.
