About

This dataset features over 10,000 of Spotify's most unpopular songs, providing their intricate audio characteristics. It is ideal for analysing data by finding patterns or clusterising the tracks to identify different types of unpopular songs based on their acoustic properties.

Columns

  • danceability: Describes how suitable a track is for dancing, with values ranging from 0.0 (least danceable) to 1.0 (most danceable).
  • energy: Represents a perceptual measure of intensity and activity, such as speed, noise, and perceived loudness, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0.
  • key: The estimated musical key the track is in. Integers map to pitches using standard Pitch Class notation (0 = C, 1 = C#, etc., up to 11 = B).
  • loudness: The overall loudness of a track in decibels (dB), averaged across the entire track. Typical values range from -60 to 0 dB.
  • mode: Indicates the modality (major or minor) of a track. Major is represented by 1, and minor by 0.
  • speechiness: Detects the presence of spoken words in a track. Higher values (e.g., above 0.66) indicate speech, while values below 0.33 typically represent music and other non-speech-like tracks.
  • acousticness: A confidence measure from 0.0 to 1.0 of whether the track is acoustic. Values closer to 1.0 indicate a high confidence the track is acoustic.
  • instrumentalness: Predicts whether a track contains no vocals. Values closer to 1.0 suggest a greater likelihood of the track being instrumental.
  • liveness: Detects the presence of an audience in the recording. Higher values indicate an increased probability that the track was performed live.
  • valence: A measure from 0.0 to 1.0 describing the musical positiveness conveyed by a track. High valence tracks sound more positive (e.g., happy, cheerful), while low valence tracks sound more negative (e.g., sad, angry).
  • duration_ms: The duration of the track in milliseconds.
  • explicit: A boolean value indicating whether the song contains explicit content (true) or not (false).
  • popularity: The popularity of the track, ranging from 0 to 100 on Spotify. In this dataset, values range from 0 to 9.
  • track_name: The name or title of the track.
  • track_artist: The name of the primary artist(s) on the track.
  • track_id: The unique Spotify ID for the track, which can be used to identify it within the Spotify platform.

Distribution

The dataset is available as a CSV file named unpopular_songs.csv, with a file size of 533.5 kB. It consists of 4,073 distinct records (rows) and 17 columns, presenting the audio characteristics of each song in a structured tabular format.

Usage
