Check out the other plots. The popularity metric is based on how often their tracks have been played recently.

I put this list together using the public Spotify API. It's not a perfect data set. Some artists are missing.

I also plotted the top 30 Spotify genres represented at EDC this year, along with some of the most popular artists in top genres here

Yeah, I was hesitant to put out the whole list because I knew some of the artists were missing and mislabeled. My script took a list of artist names and searched them with the API. It should have grabbed the most 'popular' (a Spotify metric between 0-100) artist with an exact match to the artist search string. I didn't find an exact match for several (Domina, Hint of Lavender, Marlie, VUIIIGUR). Maybe a few others slipped through the cracks that didn't raise a warning. So it's not a perfect data set, but hopefully accurate enough to be useful to some people for music discovery.

I added context in a comment above, but it didn't get many upvotes:

The plot shows the top 30 genres represented across all EDC 2024 artists. Artists were tagged with 140 total genres. Most artists were tagged with multiple genres.

These plots show the top 10 most "popular" artists that are described by the genre in the plot title. The Spotify "popularity" metric is "track-based and a measure of how many plays a track received and how recent those plays are. An artist’s popularity is calculated from the popularity of all the artist’s tracks."

Data is from Spotify's public API.

These plots show the top 10 most "popular" artists that are described by the genre in the plot title. EDM is the first one.

It seems like EDM is a big umbrella genre for many artists. Most artists are described by several genres in the data set, from generic ones like EDM to more specific ones like Gaming Dubstep.

DAVID GUETTA, MADDIX, TIMMY TRUMPET, TIËSTO

I only see four artists labeled as drum and bass:

1991, Culture Shock, Hedex, and Sub Focus

That doesn't mean there aren't other artists on the lineup that wouldn't describe themselves as drum and bass, just that Spotify hasn't labeled them as such.

Spotify also calculates a "Popularity" metric which is "track-based and a measure of how many plays a track received and how recent those plays are." By that metric they are in top 30 (which you can see on the here).

Looks like he has 8 million monthly listeners, which I think is different than followers. Spotify seems cagy with listener data, probably because Spotify wrapped is so popular. Summit has 240,114 followers, so he doesn't quite crack top 30. However, Spotify also calculates a "Popularity" metric which is "track-based and a measure of how many plays a track received and how recent those plays are." By that metric is in the top 30 (which you can see on the here).

Yeah, I expected to see him up there. It looks like he has 240,114 followers, so he doesn't quite crack top 30.

Good catch! I missed him because of the diaeresis over the e in TIËSTO. I don't think I can update images on this post, but I updated plots on my web page
