My initial impression about this is that it's heavily effected by the number of times the hook, chorus, etc is repeated.

The plot shows duration in minutes, total word count, and words per minute for a selection of 15 songs. The plot is done in the style of a topographic map, but with words per minute instead of elevation. The song selection is Spotify's top-5 most streamed songs for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021.

"Groomers" was not included in the chart due to it having lower overall usage. Your perceptions appear consistent with my results though:

• groomers: +314.7%

It is in the works.

Yes, well both "Democrats" and "Republicans" had similar increases (49% vs. 53%). However, total usage volume for both words was marginal, and only one of the words had a volume high enough to make the chart.

These words were used very heavily, however, the amount of usage did not change significantly.

+999.4254515948546%

It is entirely English language and social media type data.

For the record

• dog: +10.5%

Also,

• cat: +9.8%
• positive: +11.4%
• safety: +11.4%

EDIT:

• puppies: +2.4%

The bar chart shows how word usage in 2022 compares with that in 2021. Word frequency counts were made using Reddit comment datasets from Pushshift. All posts were made during June of 2022 and June of 2021. Each percentage indicates the change in a word's absolute count (after adjusting counts to reflect datasets of slightly difference sizes). The bar chart was made with Python and Matplotlib.
