![]() Although I am interested in education as it is a foundation for sustainable development at all levels. I thought that every country can learn from Singapore from any particular aspect. Although the data shown represents science learning labs and classrooms beyond school classes, this guides how science is being focused in Singapore. Singapore is recognized about its success in national development. In particular, Physics is apparently the one given the highest emphasis, in term of number of programs generated comparing to other topics in science. Unsurprisingly, with the vision in bringing Singapore towards smart nation, science is the foundation driving the aforementioned long-term vision. Despite the already strong human capability of Singaporean, science and technology are being focused at all levels of education. Obviously, education comes the first in priority. They are (1) pre-schooling, (2) diabetes fighting and (3) smart living. “Any song to spend 20 weeks on the chart AND not rise above the 50th spot will be designated as “recurrent” and removed from the list.” Billboard implemented this rule as a way to keep having fresh new songs added to the list.Īccording to the Singapore’s Prime Minister speech on National Rally Day** in August 2017, Lee Hsien Loong highlighted 3 main focus areas for the nation long-term development. This led me to do some research and come to find out there is a little known rule in the Hot 100 criteria. By breaking it down further by number songs each year to spend exactly 20 weeks on the chart, I again saw a massive jump in 1991. ![]() As a data analyst, I knew this was the point of entry into further analysis. And the result intrigued me! The MAJORITY of songs to ever chart on the Hot 100 have spent exactly 20 weeks. So I built a histogram depicting just that. Well, in my initial exploration, I was curious what the distribution was for amount of weeks spent on the chart. I’m a semi-professional appreciator of music and when you pair that with my knack for data analysis and visualization, you end up scraping every single Billboard Hot 100 chart going back to 1958 to look for trends. You can interact with my visualization on Tableau Public. ![]() I wanted to draw attention to Jay-Z since he topped the list so I included his bar and the headers of any associated text relating to him in red to make it stand out, keeping everything else in black and grey. They have all branched out into other areas such as alcoholic beverages, music streaming services or clothing. Ironically none of the artists listed have become super rich from their music alone. I included some text to the right of my visualization to help explain how each artist had made their millions too. Interestingly, this is the first year in the history of the annual list that Diddy hasn’t placed first. I included the net worth of each artist listed for both 20, opting to use bar-in-bar charts to show the growth in net worth over the last 12 months. I thought this would be ideal for the challenge as it’s not a subject-matter that’s commonly visualized. I recently read an article by Forbes which listed the top 5 wealthiest hip-hop artists and their overall net worth. Given that the brief was to use a simple bar chart, I opted for a simple dataset. The chart was first constructed in Excel, and then taken into Illustrator so we could do most of the finessing. We’ve shown the workforce share as a line on a second Y axis we tend to tackle this by making sure the line, Y axis labels and legend use the same colour, with legends for left and right axes to the appropriate sides of the charts. As this is a fairly simple time series, we’ve gone for eye-candy to engage the reader, creating the bars from a photo of a steelworks. We’ve tackled this as a bar (well, column) chart looking at the steel industry’s decreasing share of total US GDP and jobs since 1993. However, our graphic shows that the steel and aluminium sectors are not as nationally important as Trump believes. US President Donald Trump is justifying the proposed 25% and 10% tariffs on US steel and aluminium imports on national security grounds, avoiding World Trade Organisation scrutiny as the multilateral trade body does not have the powers to rule against measures imposed on ‘national security’ grounds. To pick a topical subject, we’ve looked at steel in the United States.
