🎸 Who's the greatest musician of all time 🎸

First EDA trying to discover with data who is the greatests singer or music band of all time by Daniel Carrera

This project has been realized using Python and the libraries: NumPy, Pandas, MatplotLib, Seaborn and Plotly. It has also been used Selenium and Beautiful Soup 4 for Web Scraping.

By analising the music industry sales trend and analyzing by sales, awards, gold and platinum records, Grammys, charts, Spotify plays, hits and tenure on The Hot 100 Billboard and Rolling Stones magazine rankings, an analysis has been made to end the debate of who is the best, most influencial musician of all time.

Abstract

Music. The fourth classic art of mankind. Since time immemorial, music has been one of mankind's most important pastimes. Since the classical civilizations, or even before, passing through the minstrels of the Middle Ages, it reached its apogee at the beginning of the 16th century, with the great musicians of the Baroque and Renaissance, the well-known classical music. Or not? Perhaps the most purists will agree that it is so, others will say that the peak would come in the twentieth century, and if you keep asking, each person will defend a different decade. And if you ask the newer generations, anything that hasn't come out in this century may seem archaic to them, or they may not even know about it. What is the golden age of music is an eternal debate. And if we look for the best musical artist, the debate is even greater. Music is a matter of personal taste, of course. What is clear is that on a subjective level, we all have a preference for a style or a musical era. But we live in the great era of data, right? Why don't we see if these can shed some light, as objectively as possible, to this question?

Methodology

In order to answer such a subjective and broad question, some pillars on which the research will be based must be established. These will be:

• Sales
• Awards
• The charts

Subsequently, a classification is made on the basis of the positions occupied by the artists in the different parts of the study and an assessment is made of which is the greatest exponent of modern music.

This is the first EDA project I have done and I'm open to any suggestions or improvements 😊
