Methodology: We looked at the top 200 songs for the past year on Spotify to determine the most popular recording artists. From there, we removed repeat artists and compiled a list of artists that had been in the top 200 for the past year at least 100 times. Next, we used Genius to scrape all of those artists’ lyrics. After that, we determined which curse words appeared the most. Finally, we used the word count and the number of curse words to determine the percent of curse words in the artist’s lyrics/songs. Overall, we analyzed 1,091,844 words (in the lyrics) to determine the artist that had the highest percentage of curse words in their music. Not to be outdone, we also looked at the artists who had the cleanest mouths in the music industry.
