Creating reusable expressions

Now that you can transform columns, you want to understand which artists have a dedicated fanbase by calculating streams per listener. Rather than rewriting this formula each time, store the calculation as a Polars expression variable that you can reuse across multiple DataFrames.

polars is loaded as pl. The DataFrame spotify is available with album streaming data.
