On June 12, Sydney musician and software engineer Harrison Khannah launched Triple J Watchdog, a website dedicated to aggregating and analysing the music played on Australia’s national youth broadcaster Triple J.
The site currently displays data from March 31 onward while Harrison continues work on backdating it to the beginning of this year. The site displays a range of Triple J metrics, including:
- top artist of the week
- top song of the week
- a breakdown of artists/bands played by country of origin
- a breakdown of artists’ pronouns (using data from Make Music Equal)
- the top 15 tracks and top 15 artists played
- the average popularity of artists played
- the average Spotify follower count of artists played (currently 3,242,692)
- the top ten genres played (cross-referenced and defined against Spotify categories)
- and the most played genre by hour for every hour across the day (based on data from Roy Morgan).
