Blog focusing on my experiments with data visualisation using Tableau Software. Back at the end of March I published my first data viz based on Spotify listening data Well that data was only for Q1 2016, so I thought I'd revisit my numbers at the end of the year. Here's my 25 most listened to Spotify Can you figure out the night I saw Chris Staples and Car Seat Headrest?
