What is Spotify Iceberg?
Icebergify is a website created by Akshay Raj, a computer and data sciences student from Rice University whose idea behind the site is to showcase favorite Spotify artists in the form of an iceberg.
According to Akshay, Icebergify is a completely safe website that collects the top 50 artists from a user’s profile in the short term (a month), medium term (half a year), and long term (several years). Moreover, the final iceberg also considers your streams, shares, saves, and likes.
The Iceberg itself also has categories that allocate your artists in the right order while keeping the popularity factor in consideration as well. For instance, if you are an OG Drake fan and have been listening to him since the days of “All Me” then he would go at the tip of the iceberg. This is usually where mainstream artists like Katy Perry, and Daft Punk are.
Whereas some lesser-known artists or bands you listen to will most probably appear close to the bottom of the ocean. Lastly, artists that aren’t either popular or fan favorite will end up in a blank category.
