Overview of data and analyses performed. Based on a wide variety of descriptors capturing the lyrical characteristics from listening data and lyrics content, we perform two analyses.

Analyses 2 investigates the relationship between the identified lyrics descriptors, popularity (listening counts and lyrics view counts), and release year.
