SiriusXM Diversity Tracker
Several days ago, there was a thread discussing diversity of the various music channels. People had a lot of thoughts, but it sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole to answer the question with actual data.
That rabbit hole continued, leading to a website I created to track channel diversity.
The site collects data from the xmplaylist.com API (and a big thanks to Scott over there for blessing its use!) and (attempts to) sort channels, per genre, based on how repetitive or diverse each channel is. Clicking on any channel will provide more data and analysis.
Currently the results are based on a 7 day window. As the system collects more play data (or if/when I backfill with other data sources), I'll experiment with analyzing larger time windows.
I'm sure the methodology is far from perfect, and the site and backend code are primarily AI generated, so it's all a bit robotic. But it's been a fun and interesting exercise, and it's already shifted my listening habits, so I hope others find it useful or interesting.
Constructive feedback is encouraged!
