Radio 1's Playlist Reveals Unexpected Spotify Wrapped Results A recent analysis of Radio 1's playlist data in Hungary has yielded surprising results, highlighting the popularity of unexpected artists. A TikToker, known as zalgoli, used a custom Python script to analyze a month's worth of Radio 1 airplay. The results show that David Guetta, despite not being a frequent choice, topped the list, followed by Cyril, Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna. "I was shocked to see David Guetta at the top," said zalgoli. "My script showed a clear preference for his songs, despite my initial assumptions." The study's methodology involved scraping Radio 1's online stream and matching songs to Spotify data. This allowed for a comprehensive analysis of play counts and total listening time. The findings suggest Radio 1's playlist may have a broader appeal than initially anticipated. This unexpected outcome highlights the power of data analysis in understanding listener preferences. It also showcases the potential of using custom scripts to gain valuable insights into music consumption trends.
