Our project investigates whether certain visual components of an album cover contribute to the overall popularity of the album. To do this, the Spotify API and the AWS API were used to find the average popularity values that correspond with various album cover dominant colors. Also, the presence of text in album covers was analyzed alongside their popularity values. These analyses were visualized with bar graphs in python. The results are inconclusive on a broad scale, but within the data set of Indie albums, purple was the color with the highest popularity, as well as the presence of text. This study is important in optimizing the album covers of lesser-known music artists in order to gain notoriety.
