Spotify Personal Usage

This Spotify analytics dashboard visualizes my personal streaming data over a year (May 2022-2023), providing insights into my listening habits. It displays key metrics including total plays, unique songs, artists, along with detailed breakdowns of listening patterns by time of day, favorite tracks, and popular artists. The heatmap reveals when I'm most active on Spotify throughout the week, while the top 10 songs chart and artist word cloud highlight my music preferences. The dashboard serves as a personal music consumption analyzer, allowing me to discover patterns in my listening behavior, identify peak listening times, and recognize my most-played artists and tracks. Its value lies on transforming raw streaming data into visual insights that help me better understand my music consumption habits and discover trends I wouldn't otherwise notice."
