Nowadays a large amount of new music
emerges every year. How to properly categorize music for
quick browsing and retrieval by users and evaluate music
popularity based on audio features is an important
research topic. In this study, the decision tree model is
used to classify music styles on a dataset consisting of
audio features of 4802 songs from 2008-2017. Then, the
number of music listening in the dataset was used as an
indicator to assess the popularity of songs. By comparing
the training results of different Machine Learning
algorithms on the dataset, Gradient Boosting Regressor is
chosen to be used in this case, and the relative importance
of different audio features on the popularity of songs was
calculated with this model.
