This visualization displays the top Spotify artists ranked by total streams in billions, using a horizontal bar chart that supports scrolling through a long dataset. React manages the component state and rendering, while D3 v5’s `scaleBand`, `scaleLinear`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` construct the axes and bars as SVG elements. The y-axis stays fixed while the bar area scrolls independently, with the `csv` loader pulling data from a remote gist. Each bar is colored Spotify green, and the x-axis labels include a “B” suffix to denote billions.
