Spotify Uses Data To Predict Grammy Winners
Spotify has released data that predicts who will win a Grammy in four of the top categories: Album Of The Year, Record of The Year, Song of The Year and Best New Artist. To predict the winners, Spotify compiled global data on the most streamed songs, albums and artists in each of the categories; and analyzed the listening habits of its 60 million users worldwide to look at the most viral songs, albums and artists in those categories to predict possible “dark horses.”
