very cool idea, but the quality of results varied quite a bit.

Example prompt:

"Popular in Canada in 1995"

Not a single Tragically Hip, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan!

Although my prompt may be too nuanced, some of the example prompts seemed even more so.

Wouldn't popular in Canada in 1995 be Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Cypress Hill/Sound Garden?

You probably mean popular in canada in 1995 and is considered a Canadian band by the Canadian mainstream press. Which should be Weird Al, Moist, Our Lady Peace.. Tragically Hip was never popchart popular until the end. Sarah McLachlan was never mainstream popular until Lilith Fare

Don't have any geographic information in my dataset that's why. Thinking about finding song metadata for artists that contain information about their geographic location. Popular in 1995 should be working though, as I do have decade and year information.
