MGD: Music Genre Dataset

Over recent years, the world has seen a dramatic change in the way people consume music, moving from physical records to streaming services. Since 2017, such services have become the main source of revenue within the global recorded music market.
Therefore, this dataset is built by using data from Spotify. It provides a weekly chart of the 200 most streamed songs for each country and territory it is present, as well as an aggregated global chart.

Considering that countries behave differently when it comes to musical tastes, we use chart data from global and regional markets from January 2017 to December 2019, considering eight of the top 10 music markets according to IFPI: United States (1st), Japan (2nd), United Kingdom (3rd), Germany (4th), France (5th), Canada (8th), Australia (9th), and Brazil (10th).

We also provide information about the hit songs and artists present in the charts, such as all collaborating artists within a song (since the charts only provide the main ones) and their respective genres, which is the core of this work. MGD also provides data about musical collaboration, as we build collaboration networks based on artist partnerships in hit songs. Therefore, this dataset contains:

• Genre Networks: Success-based genre collaboration networks
• Genre Mapping: Genre mapping from Spotify genres to super-genres
• Artist Networks: Success-based artist collaboration networks
• Artists: Some artist data
• Hit Songs: Hit Song data and features
• Charts: Enhanced data from Spotify Weekly Top 200 Charts

This dataset provides a list of lyrics from 1950 to 2019 describing music metadata as sadness, danceability, loudness, acousticness, etc. We also provide some informations as lyrics which can be used to natural language processing.

The audio data was scraped using Echo Nest® API integrated engine with spotipy Python’s package. The spotipy API permits the user to search for specific genres, artists,songs, release date, etc. To obtain the lyrics we used the Lyrics Genius® API as baseURL for requesting data based on the song title and artist name.

Music Instruct (MI) Dataset

This is the dataset used to train and evaluate the MusiLingo model. This dataset contains Q&A pairs related to individual musical compositions, specifically tailored for open-ended music queries. It originates from the music-caption pairs in the MusicCaps dataset. The MI dataset was created through prompt engineering and applying few-shot learning techniques to GPT-4. More details on dataset generation can be found in our paper MusiLingo: Bridging Music… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/m-a-p/Music-Instruct.

MusicOSet is an open and enhanced dataset of musical elements (artists, songs and albums) based on musical popularity classification. Provides a directly accessible collection of data suitable for numerous tasks in music data mining (e.g., data visualization, classification, clustering, similarity search, MIR, HSS and so forth). To create MusicOSet, the potential information sources were divided into three main categories: music popularity sources, metadata sources, and acoustic and lyrical features sources. Data from all three categories were initially collected between January and May 2019. Nevertheless, the update and enhancement of the data happened in June 2019.

The attractive features of MusicOSet include:

• Integration and centralization of different musical data sources
• Calculation of popularity scores and classification of hits and non-hits musical elements, varying from 1962 to 2018
• Enriched metadata for music, artists, and albums from the US popular music industry
• Availability of acoustic and lyrical resources
• Unrestricted access in two formats: SQL database and compressed .csv files

We measured brain activity using functional MRI while five subjects (“sub-001”, …, “sub-005”) listened to music stimuli of 10 different genres.

The entire folder consists of subject-wise subfolders (“sub-001”,…). Each subject’s folder contains the following subfolders: 1) anat: T1-weighted structural images 2) func: functional signals (multi-band echo-planar images)

Each subject performed 18 runs consisting of 12 training runs and 6 test runs. The training and test data were assigned with the following notations: Training data: sub-00*_task-Training_run-**_bold.json Test data: sub-00*_task-Test_run-**_bold.json

Each *_event.tsv file contains following information: onset: stimulus onset Duration: stimulus duration genre: genre type (out of 10 genres) track: index to identify the original track start: onset of excerpt from the original track (second) end: offset of excerpt from the original track (second)

The duration of all stimuli is 15s.　For each clip, 2 s of fade-in and fade-out effects were applied, and the overall signal intensity was normalized in terms of the root mean square.

For the training runs, the 1st stimulus (0-15s) is the same as the last stimulus of the previous run (600-615s). For the test runs, the1st stimulus (0-15s) is the same as the last stimulus of the same run (600-615s).

The original music stimuli (GTZAN dataset) can be found here: http://marsyas.info/downloads/datasets.html

Caution This dataset can be used for research purposes only. The data were anonymized, and users shall not perform analyses to re-identify individual subjects.

The dataset contains Electroencephalography (EEG) responses from 20 Indian participants, on 12 songs of different genres (from Indian Classical to Goth Rock). Each session indicates a song by its number.

For the experiment, the participants were indicated to close their eyes indicated by a single beep, and the song was presented to them on speakers. After listening to each song, a double beep was presented, asking them to open their eyes and rate their familiarity and enjoyment to the song. The responses were taken on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 meant most familiar or most enjoyable, and 5 meant least familiar or least enjoyable.

This dataset is a collection of mel-spectrogram features extracted from Indian regional music containing the following languages:
Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Konkani, Bengali, Oriya, Kashmiri, Assamese, Nepali, Konyak, Manipuri, Khasi & Jaintia, Tamil, Malayalam, Punjabi, Telugu, Kannada.

Five recordings are collected for each language for four artists (2Male + 2Female) each. 2 artists out of 4 for each language are old veteran performers, and the remaining 2 are contemporary performers. Overall, the dataset includes 17 languages, 68 artists (34 Males and 34 Females). There are 340 recordings in the dataset, with a total duration of 29.3 hrs.

Mel-spectrogram is extracted from a 1-second segment with a 1/2 second sliding window for each song. Extracted mel-spectrogram for each segment is annotated with language, location, local_song_index, global_song_index, language_id, location_id, artist_id, gender_id.

The MuSe (Music Sentiment) dataset contains sentiment information for 90,408 songs. We computed scores for the affective dimensions of valence, dominance and arousal, based on the user-generated tags that are available for each song via Last.fm. In addition, we provide artist and title metadata as well as a Spotify ID and a MusicBrainz ID, which allow researchers to extend the dataset with further metadata, such as genre or year.

Though the tags themselves cannot be included in the dataset, we include a jupyter notebook in our accompanying Github repository that demonstrates how to fetch the tags of a given song from the Last.fm API (Last.fm_API.ipynb)

We further include a jupyter notebook in the same repository that demonstrates how one might enrich the dataset with audio features using different endpoints of the Spotify API using the included Spotify IDs (spotify_API.ipynb). Please note that in its current form, the dataset only contains tentative spotify IDs for a subset (around 68%) of the songs.
