Favorite artists by state
As we said before, each state has its favorite type of music. We think that this is a cultural thing as well and shows the internal divide in the nation more accurately than anything else. Just look at where Drake and Jay-Z dominate, there is almost a straight line between the two.
Jay Z absolutely conquered the eastern half of the country whereas Drake is more involved in the south. But it seems to be that rap or hip hop artists are the main players in the music game across the nation. Colorado again sticks out for being the only place that cheers for Lorde.
