    1. Nice work Spec Team! This was really interesting to read and great see all the different input from the group come together into one piece. Excited to see where your ideas head next!

    2. downward trend off the charts

      Ah-ha, I only just realized this.

      Would it be useful to flip the Y Axis on the chart below so Position at the charts has #1 at the top of the chart, down to 200. That way it would read similar to the Streaming popularity chart above.

      Currently the trends go in different directions - and it wasn't immediately clear that 'rising' on the Position chart below indicates decreasing popularity...

    3. Travis Scott’s top 5 songs.

      For the charts on this page, is it possible to extend the width to fill the full column width- just to match or be consistent with the charts on the 'Streaming Behavior' page?

      Again, double-clicking on the chart brings it to the full width of the column, and full data extent, which is nice

    4. Spotify top charts.

      Is it possible to annotate on the chart the period with no data as ' not present on the Spotify top charts' - and if possible remove the connecting line? maybe as 2 identical looking line series.

    5. Looking for Something to Stream?

      Just another idea - To bring it back around to the beginning-

      Looking for something to stream?- Since it's [insert current day of week here] you might be looking for something [insert related song characteristic] here are some of our recommendations...

    6. Jump to 'Selected Artists' to explore why Lil Peep and XXXTentacion's streams varied by their personal life events.

      Would this be best right below the Choose Topic section? Then you'd know what that option provides, and not tempted to 'switch' mid-stream (ha...)

      ...Explore Lil Peep and XXXTentacion's streaming popularity in life, and in death?

    7. the streaming popularity of these artists have peaks and lows throughout different times of the year.

      Like what...? Tee up the insights!

      A couple observations on the chart.

      1. Maybe Annotate the new album dates here on this chart too?

      2. Looking at the peak & falloff, We all know the feeling, a new album drops it's non stop repeat... but then...it kindof tapers off. It's really cool to see here, may be something to mention.

      3. And What's up with Post Malone in October 2017...? A low-level boost

      One more note, when I double-click on the chart, I can see the whole range, which is nice. Something to note for the users?

      1. In making the Transition to the next section, you could call attention to the bumpy pattern in the lines... leading into the discussion on Weekends\Weekdays...
    8. May 2 (today)

      This is cool! I like the 'This day in Spotify trend history'

      On the chart below, as a bonus feature, would you be able to drop in a reference line showing the current day on the chart?

  2. May 2019
    1. Our sorrows were short lived

      a note of caution: 'Our' Can you speak on behalf of a Spotify listeners, or for all readers in your audience here? Does your audience know you well enough at this point to know the tone of where you're coming from?

      for the passive voice: the attention is short lived

    2. perhaps we will have more luck looking at other artists.

      That's why we explore!

      This is good, jus to show the process isn't always hitting gold all the time

    3. XXXTentacion's Popularity by Album Drops

      Timeline of XXXTentacion

      If you have the title Popularity by Album Drops, but also include his death, alongside the albums, it kind of equates those as just another factor explaining popularity... which it is in a way, but those are very events....

      Is it important to indicate not just that he passed, but that he was in fact killed (murdured).

      A similar story is playing out here in the next section. Some brief text to transition from the previous segment to this may be useful...

    4. 7%

      I'd just format using % and omit the 1.07 or .06 labels...

      On the chart, a reference line on '1' could be helpful, to show the portion of each bar above 1, for the increase over weekday...

    5. we won’t say

      but you seem to be saying it... Which can be OK if you have well founded reasons...Or, state as opinion...

      alternatively, we'll let the reviewers decide (link to credible music reviews or something)

    6. !

      Wrapping up with some overall conclusions? What can you comment on between these two artists events and streaming popularity. Will there be more posthumous events... Something like this is a way of viewing a legacy left behind.
