In recent years we’ve witnessed an emergence of music “biopics,” major films that follow the lives of musicians as they pave their way to success (i.e. How long will this viral reign last? We investigate in a number of ways, ultimately estimating a total life of ~4 years on the US Spotify Top 200 Chart, and possibly more on Spotify's Global Top 200 Chart. Ever since the movie's release, even to this day, Queen has never failed to rank top 200 in the United States as well as globally.

We seek to give similar treatment in the case of Spotify's Top Charts, where popularity 'drives up' the ranking (price) of a given index (song). Many methods are known for analyzing and predicting movement in a financial market and quantifying risk. This project showcases a spectrum of technical skills in a nontraditional actuarial setting.
