A new map, created by Music Machinery color codes the United States of America to show each state’s favorite artist.
The map uses streaming data compiled by The Echo Nest.
Hip Hop artists appear to be very popular in the U.S.A., since a majority of the states have been shaded colors to represent different artists within the genre.
The map resembles the electoral college map, which is normally used during the Presidential election.
Jay Z is the artist of choice for 22 of the 50 states. Hov has a majority of the northeast region, including the Tri-State area, the carolinas and Florida.
Drake‘s music appears to be streamed the most in the south. According to The Echo Nest, states such as Texas, Louisiana , Oklahoma and Arizona listen to the Canadian-bred rapper more than any other artist.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are the most popular in their home state of Washington, Hawaii and in a majority of the Midwest region.
Eminem won over three states: North Dakota, West Virginia and Alaska.
Lorde, Daft Punk and Imagine Dragons are also included on the graph.

For more Jay Z coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
no way they listen to jay-z that much down south or even up north, i dont really know anyone who fucks with new jay-z music like that
the world is bigger than people you know. Streaming isn’t just about new music either.
Where Nas at though? LOL, proves that people don’t listen to the walking L in the real world and pays attention to the words of Hov. All you Nas stans can suck a dick.
Y’all dumb fucks know Alaska is a state too, right?
If you would have looked closely, you would have seen that Alaska is at the bottom of the map next Hawaii for spacing purposes.
Where is Nasqueer Jones on this map. More solid proof that Jay Z> nas,feminem, and shitty cents.
I’m surprised North Carolina doesn’t listen to J.Cole
we don’t trust. Don’t believe that map
we do I meant
Half the country listens to a Luciferian New World Order puppet, congratulations Amerika.
drake is global drake is king
Drake is also a Luciferian New World Order puppet who has zero talent and runs nothing.
It’s 2015, DX needs an option to share articles.
if you follow them on facebook you can but i agree this website is desperate for a total re-design
Eminem Makes Macklemore & Ryan Lewis look like Malcolm X
Eminem is a fucking cornball. He can rap but his music sucks. It’s for the HIP-POP AUDIENCE
This map was posted on February 28, 2014. The map for this year would look much different.
How scientific. Because streaming music is the only way to consume it.
Well, yah all know Jigga has been there for over 20 years in the industry,so its no surprise if he tops the charts, we only waiting for the life time achievement award and that’s it…all Hail Jay-Z
