Spotify lets developers access loads of data about songs - danceability, tempo, energy etc. It's the data they use to recommend songs.
I thought I would use this to answer: Wizkid vs Vybz Kartel

SONG RELEASES
Vybz wins this one
First step was cleaning the data: Vybz has a SHIT LOAD of remixes, instrumental, interludes etc attached to his Spotify.
Anyway, Vybz is clearly a king when it comes to his discography: 400+ songs from Vybz and only 40+ from Wizkid on Spotify

DANCEABILITY
Very very close but Wizkid just about wins this one
"Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on a combination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overall regularity"

ENERGY
Wizkid wins - Wizkid's music is much more energetic on average
Energy is how intense/active the song is. Heavy Metal has a high score and Slow Jams have a lower score

EMOTIONAL VALENCE
Wizkid's music is more 'happy' but Vybz is defo more versatile
Valence is a measure of "musical positiveness" so tunes with a higher number are happier and ones with less of a number are sad, angry etc.

HOW VERSATILE IS THEIR STYLE
This one took a bit of time but.....Vybz wins - Vybz' has gone further from his style quite a bit...maybe because he's been doing this thing for so long?
The more dots outside the circle, the more versatile their style is.
