TV Series and Music: popularity over time

I love data visualizations!

The American data analyst Data is Beautiful creates scores of data visualizations on their Youtube site Data is Beautiful.

I particularly like The Most Viewed TV series (1986-2020) because it encapsulates decades of my own viewing history.

Another favourite is Best-Selling Music Artists 1969-2019 because once again it compresses fifty years of my listening experience into a tidy ten minutes.

The TV series are the most popular based on the number of viewers per episode on average. The music is ranked by yearly certified record sales and the numbers are worldwide and adjusted to twelve months trailing average.

My take: Imagine if these videos had sound clips matched to the data! Now that would be a trip!
