You've calculated quantiles and binned streams - now visualize the full popularity distribution to complete your analysis. The popularity column from the Spotify dataset ranges from 0 to 100. Build histogram counts with custom bin edges, then plot the distribution with Plotly to see where most albums cluster.

polars is loaded as pl and plotly.express as px. The DataFrame spotify is available.
