[OC] Average RateYourMusic Album Rating for Superstar Musicians at Each Age

Source: RateYourMusic, RIAA, Rolling Stone

Tools: Gemini, Excel, Datawrapper

I wanted to track album quality for superstar artists by their age. I first defined a "sueprstar" as either having sold at least 50 million units in the US according to the RIAA or being included in Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest artists. I then looked up the ratings for every album in each of those artist's discographies on RateYourMusic. That part was a nightmare. RYM doesn't have an API, so I had to screenshot a ton of pages and feed those into Gemini to extract the data. I did a longer write-up here.
