A Model for Predicting Music Popularity on Streaming Platforms
The global music market moves billions of dollars every year, most of which comes from streamingplatforms. In this paper, we present a model for predicting whether or not a song will appear in Spotify鈥檚 Top 50, a ranking of the 50 most popular songs in Spotify, which is one of today鈥檚 biggest streaming services. To make this prediction, we trained different classifiers with information from audio features from songs that appeared in this ranking between November 2018 and January 2019. When tested with data from June and July 2019, an SVM classifier with RBF kernel obtained accuracy, precision, and AUC above 80%
