i’ve always loved music data and visual projects, but most “top charts” are either closed-source or impossible to explore in detail. world’s top artists tracks the top 500 artists globally (updated daily), visualizes their relationships in a 3d constellation, maps listener cities on a world atlas, and keeps a history of former 500 artists for long-term insights. what’s fun is that the entire thing runs fully client-side: no backend, no database. all data lives as json files on github, automatically refreshed every 24h through github actions. this started as a weekend experiment to see if i could automate a full-scale music tracker with zero infrastructure, and it kept growing with every idea i added. i’d love to hear your thoughts or ideas for new features as i’m still experimenting with how far i can push it.
