Spotify Artist Stats

This is a Flask application that fetches and displays various statistics about a Spotify artist using the Spotify Web API. It retrieves data such as followers count, popularity, and listeners for the artist's top tracks. The fetched data is processed and stored in a database for historical tracking.
