This infographic examines chord progressions in popular rock music. I wanted to see if there could be correlations between chord progressions and other metadata about the song, like when it was created.

The data was sourced by crossreferencing the crowdsourced HookTheory chord progression API and listener and song data taken from the top 100 songs tagged as ‘rock’ from last.fm.
