This collaborative project explored the impact of Genre, BPM, Length, Decibel level, and Speechiness on song popularity. It utilized the SP2000 dataset, covering 2000 songs from 1956 to 2019.

Decibel Level, Genre, and Speechiness emerged as key factors affecting song popularity. Higher decibel levels were linked to greater popularity, and incorporating speech elements also boosted appeal. The study highlighted shifting trends in song traits, with stable BPM but changing song length and decibel levels over time.

These insights have important implications for modern musicians aiming to create popular music.
