Lyric Scraping

Webscraping and exporting lyrics to a csv file

Purpose:

To get more experience webscraping (to gather data on my own rather than relying on Kaggle). Allows for more freedom in chosing a dataset of interest for future analysis. Data is present on various topics but not always in the format needed, being able to harvest it and produce it in a compact csv/other practical file is important for any data scientist.

Future Plans

  • Professor suggestion to do sentiment analysis on the lyrics gathered.
  • Find patterns in songs which make them popular/successful.
