How Our Algorithm Works
Our innovative playlist generator is designed to create a truly personalized musical journey by blending data from multiple trusted sources. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Personalized Discovery:
We begin by tapping into the Spotify API to discover your top tracks and favorite artists, ensuring that you are only getting tracks similar to what YOU like!
Enhanced Relevance through Dual Analysis:
Next, we blend data from both the Spotify API and the Last.FM API using our proprietary formula. This multi-source analysis allows us to assess the relevance of tracks to the general public based on factors such as listening frequency, track playcounts, and other broader popularity trends.
Artist Milestone Insights with MusicBrainz:
To determine milestones associated with your favorite artists, we utilize the MusicBrainz API. This lets us pinpoint significant dates in an artist's life—such as birthdays and death days. We also utilize the information to accurately determine album release dates, cross-referencing data from both Spotify and MusicBrainz.
Our Secret Sauce:
Finally, we calculate a score for each song based on multiple factors to ensure you get the best playlist possible. This undisclosed process artfully balances the elements of birthday celebrations, commemorative death days, album release anniversaries, and your personal favorites. The end result is a perfectly curated mix that captures both nostalgia and your current musical preferences in one bopping playlist.
This algorithm doesn’t just generate a list of songs—it creates a dynamic narrative of your musical journey, celebrating the past and present in an entirely unique way.
