Total Plays for Top 10 Artists, By Year
This visualization displays the total monthly play count for the top ten artists on the author's Last.fm profile, aggregated into a single line over time. The chart uses a red line on a white background with gridlines, and the y-axis labels are formatted with abbreviations. Built with D3 v5, the code employs `scaleTime` and `scaleLinear` for scales, `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` for axes, and a `line` generator to draw the path. Data is loaded from a CSV via `csv()`, with monthly dates parsed from year-month strings.
AI-generated descriptionThis dataset is from my last.fm profile (pulled using this service). This data was parsed so that it only includes the number of plays for my Top 10 most listened to artists.
The data includes a date (specified as a year and a month) and a play count for each artists in the Top 10. All of the play counts were totalled into a "total plays" number for each month, which is what I chose for the visualization. Additionally, the data is shown without any curve fitting, because the rapid fluctuations caused the data to look incorrect (for example, at certain times the data would go below 0 plays).
