this is sooo cool watching your favorites rise up the charts! For me, Soulja Boy Tell'em (Oct 07) wasn't playing...I'm based in Amsteradam. Is it possible to give an indicator that the song can't play for whatever reason? ....simply so cool!

Another awesome research around hip-hop! They did this pretty cool a few years ago - a graph of the number of words used by hip hop artists during their career: http://poly-graph.co/vocabulary....
Ryan Hoover
Incredible. Well done, @matthew_daniels.
Matt Daniels
@rrhoover glad you liked it! question: there's kinda a buried feature and curious if you noticed it...did you try clicking any of the rapper faces?
Ryan Hoover
@matthew_daniels oooo, I missed that! Very cool. :)
Matt Daniels
@rrhoover I updated this project with top 100 data going back to the 1950s. http://polygraph.cool/history
Braunson Yager
This is real cool, any thoughts on expanding to other genres?
Matt Daniels
@braunshizzle yea if billboard hooks it up of course.
Emily White
@matthew_daniels @braunshizzle tell me what genres you want to see :)
Braunson Yager
@emwhitenoise @matthew_daniels It would be neat to see the general top tier genre's i.e. Pop, Country, Rock, Metal, Dance/EDM, Latin, etc..
Barron Roth
@matthew_daniels @braunshizzle Sounds like there was no explicit API to make this? @emwhitenoise helped with the data?
Vineeth S.K.
Wow, this is an awesome example of data visualization. Love how you captured the evolution of hip-hop through the years.
Sachin Agarwal
This is the perfect complement to Q102 here in the Bay. Wish it would play in the background though.
Tyson Ferguson
Whoa. This is definitely the coolest hop hop/data project I've ever seen. Kudos to @matthew_daniels and the Billboard crew for putting this together.
Ben Tossell
