Alexa Song Listening History

R Shiny, IFTTT, Google Sheets

This R Shiny dashboard displays song data played via Amazon Alexa. Once Alexa plays a song, an IFTTT application moves the song data to a Google Sheet. The dashboard contains four tabs: Frequency Plot, Year to Year Popularity, Top Songs Played, and About. In the Frequency Plot tab, the user can group plots based on four different time units: Day, Week, Month, and Day of Week. The Year to Year Popularity tab contains a bump chart that the user can choose to display the top five most popular Artists or Albums played. The dashboard user can filter the entire data set based on a date range.
