Exploring regional listening preferences

Recommended Posts

Paul Lamere's Music Machinery blog posted a blog and infographic which explores US regional listening preferences using data from a variety of online streaming services. From the blog post:

"For this study, I sampled the listening preferences of about a quarter million listeners that have a zip code associated with their account. Listener data is drawn from a variety of music streaming services that are powered by The Echo Nest. I aggregated these listeners into regions (state, regional and all-US). To compare regions I look at the top-N most popular artists based upon listener plays in each region and look for artists that have a substantial change in rank between the two regions. These artists are the artists that define the taste for the region."
