Details

Fictitious data that imagines a world where I have a cool job in the music industry. Except, it's not that cool because my job is to predict album sales (broadly defined in some way that accounts for physical sales, streams and digital sales). In my little fantasy I collect data from 200 releasures (albums). For each one, I have information about the amount spent advertising the album, the number of sales, the number of plays on radio songs from the album had per week, and a rating of the image of the band. The (fictional) data contains the following variables:

• album_id: album identifier.

• adverts: advertising budget in thousands of whatever currency is used in your country.

• sales: the number of album sales (physical, digital, streams)

• airplay: the number of times songs from the album were played on radio thew eek before release

• image: a rating of the band's image from scale from 0 (dad dancing at a disco) to 10 (sicker than a dog that's eaten a bag of onions)
