Change over time

Genre Drift

Genre Drift compares recurring genre tags across every Chartwave timeframe at once. Instead of showing one taste snapshot, it highlights how the balance of your listening shifts from week to month to long-term habits.

Best for

Seeing whether a genre is a passing phase, a recent surge, or a long-term part of your listening identity.

What it emphasizes

  • Compares genre share across 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
  • Highlights rising genres, fading genres, and the most stable long-term anchors.
  • Works best as a change-over-time view, not a replacement for the bubble map.
