This table presents a simplified excerpt of the original track-level dataset. To provide representative coverage across time, two sample tracks were selected from five key years (2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2022). These examples highlight differences in genre distribution, popularity scores, and audio characteristics across different stages of the streaming era.

From 2010 to 2022, musical trends have evolved significantly. Although the energy and emotion indices as well as popularity data for EDM and Pop have fluctuated to some extent over the 22-year period, both genres ultimately remain the highest among all genres. Melodic Rap maintains a balanced appeal, and overall artist and track popularity highlight diverse audience tastes. This repository captures the dynamic journey of these genres over the years, offering a snapshot of the changing music landscape.

From 2010 to 2022, most genres maintain relatively high energy levels, generally between 0.6 and 0.8. Dance-oriented genres such as EDM and dance pop consistently show higher energy, while some pop and urban styles fluctuate more noticeably. Overall, the chart suggests that energetic, rhythm-driven music remains dominant throughout the streaming era.

The dataset used in this project is derived from the Music Genre Trends Analysis (2010–2022) repository published by Dhruv Strivedi on GitHub.

The dataset includes track-level information such as track popularity, artist popularity, genre classifications, and key audio features including danceability, energy, valence, tempo, and duration. These attributes were used to calculate yearly averages and identify long-term genre trends.
