This multi-line chart by Finn-Luka visualizes the rise and fall of CD unit sales from 1983 to 2019, alongside the emergence of on-demand streaming from 2010 onward. It shows the explosive growth of CDs peaking around 1,588 million units in 2000, followed by a steady decline as digital music took over. The visualization uses `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleOrdinal`, and `d3.line` to render the trends, with `@curran/responsive-axes` handling the axis layout. The data is parsed from an embedded CSV, combining "CD Single" into "CD" and renaming streaming formats for clarity.

HAW Tidy Tuesday Music (Matthias)

This visualization shows the rise and fall of music format sales from 1973 to 2019, comparing CD and CD Single units sold in millions. Two colored lines trace annual sales across the chart, with a legend identifying each format. The code uses D3’s `scaleLinear`, `area`, `line`, and `ordinal` scales with `schemeCategory10` for colors. The `@curran/responsive-axes` library renders the axes. Data comes from embedded CSV text parsed with semicolon separators, grouped by format.

HAW 5.12 Makeover Monday Music

A stylized line chart visualizes the rise and fall of CD and CD Single music sales from 1973 to 2019, aggregating yearly units into a single time series. The React-based visualization uses D3 v5 functions like `scaleLinear`, `extent`, and `max` for axes, while the `Marks` component employs `line` and `curveNatural` to draw smooth paths with circular points. Data is fetched as CSV and filtered by format, leveraging the Poppins font for a clean, modern aesthetic against muted axis colors.

music streaming

This stacked area chart shows the evolution of music formats (CD, vinyl, digital, streaming, and CD singles) from 1973 to 2019, revealing the rise of digital and the resurgence of vinyl. Built with React and D3 v7, it uses `d3.stack` and `d3.area` to render the layers, with `d3.schemeTableau10` for colors and hover interactions to highlight individual formats. Data is parsed from a semicolon-delimited CSV through `d3.dsv`, converting European decimal commas. The chart animates on load with D3 transitions and includes interactive legend and tooltip elements for exploration.

Gist dc6444098fd68243c558a9c1f93c0257

This example shows the shifting market share of recorded music formats from 1980 to 2010, using a stacked area chart to track the rise and fall of media like vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and digital downloads. The visualization uses D3.js to generate the chart, likely with `d3.stack()` and `d3.area()` to create the layered series from the provided yearly data. It illustrates how compact discs dominated the market by the mid-1990s, while cassette tapes declined and digital formats began to emerge in the late 2000s. The data appears to be drawn from a CSV or similar tabular source, processed directly into the chart’s scales and axes.

Fork of music streaming (Matthias)

This interactive visualization displays music format sales trends from 2000 to 2019, showing how CD, vinyl, digital, and streaming revenues evolve over time. A streamgraph, built with d3.stack and stackOffsetSilhouette, centers the data vertically, with smooth areas colored via scaleOrdinal and schemeTableau10. Users adjust a birthday year input to place a red marker line, while hover effects highlight individual format layers. The chart loads semicolon-delimited CSV data in React, parses European decimal commas, and renders animated SVG areas with d3.area and curveMonotoneX.

music streaming (Matthias)

An animated SVG streamgraph shows the rise and fall of five music formats—CD, CD Single, Digital, Vinyl, and Streaming—from 1973 to 2019. Built with D3.js `stackOffsetSilhouette`, `area`, and `curveMonotoneX`, the areas fade in sequentially on load. A red dashed line marks the user-selected birthday year, and hovering over a layer highlights it while dimming others. Data is parsed from a semicolon-delimited CSV with European decimal commas.

Fork of music streaming

Six small multiples compare the popularity of music formats (CD, CD Single, Digital, Vinyl, Streaming) for selected years from 1980 to 2019, where each chart is a 6x5 grid of circles colored by format. Using React and D3 v7, the visualization transforms semicolon-delimited CSV data into pictograms, with animated circle growth, hover highlighting, and tooltips. The D3 scaleOrdinal and schemeTableau10 assign colors, while a join operation renders the circle glyphs.

RIAA Music Format Historical Trends

This streamgraph visualizes the changing revenue of music formats in the US from 1973 to 2019, using data from the RIAA. The chart, built with React and D3.js, stacks area layers for formats like CD, Cassette, and Streaming, with automatic label placement via `d3-area-label`. The visualization applies a blur to the data before stacking with a wiggle offset, and employs `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.scaleLinear`, and `d3.scaleOrdinal` for scales. An x-axis with grid lines is rendered using `d3.axisBottom`.
