That's just terrible. It'd make me leave the States but its prolly worse elsewhere...

glatt · 02-28-2014, 07:25 AM

The good thing is I don't have to listen to what everyone else is listening to.

JayZ? I couldn't even tell you a single song by the guy. Is he a rapper?

That clears things up.

I call the smelliest kind of bullshit on all three of these maps.

I will personally guarantee that JayZ is NOT KY's favorite, or most popular, artist.

If he is, I'll move.

I haven't been able to find much information on just where this data is coming from. Reading between the lines, it appears to come from music streaming services that have registration requirements.

I only saw one map with any kind of info and it said:

The data for the map is drawn from an aggregation of data across a wide range of music services powered by The Echo Nest and is based on the listening behavior of a quarter million online music listeners.

The footnote for both favorite artist maps at UT's link said "most played artist". I guess that's radio air time, so probably Clear Channel manipulating the market... also why I gave up radio except for a very few stations where I only listen to half what they're playing.

Firstly, in all honesty, I am a douche when it comes to music. I heard a sample of the Keyes bit somewhere, but the song is essentially new to me. Initially I thought he was doing a funny send-up of self-absorbed rap artists but... I think I'm with Bruce the map is prolly an effect of Clearchannel corp.

footfootfoot · 02-28-2014, 07:52 AM

I think he's one of the guys who is famous for being famous.

Undertoad · 02-28-2014, 08:14 AM

Guys, he's a rapper and one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Has 17 Grammys, 3 albums in Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums of all time list, is worth $500 million dollars and is married to Beyoncé, who is the top female singer in the world. (It's like if Billy Joel had married Madonna in 1988, and instead of children they made records.)

You will have heard "Empire State of Mind", featuring Alicia Keys singing the verse that starts out "In New Yorrrrrk..."

Also, notably, he is NOT Kanye West.

Get off my lawn.

glatt · 02-28-2014, 09:16 AM

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit out of touch.

I realized about a month ago that while I knew exactly who Justin Beiber is, I couldn't name a single song that he did either. My son often mocks him by singing "baby, baby, baby, oh" in a silly way, so I knew those lyrics, but really didn't know the song. I asked about it and the kids pulled up the video, and I can honestly say I had never heard it before.

I know Beyonce. And could hum a couple of her songs to you. She's fun.

He's Robinson Cano's agent and little else.

I'd like more info on the compilation as well. I'd guess he's widely played on bland pop and hip hop stations so his music would essentially be filler like the unimaginative dragons etc... I wouldn't know Alice Keyes from Bouncy if they were on my lawn. Didn't know there was a new version of New York State of mind... why bother?

Doesn't he produce, too?

footfootfoot · 02-28-2014, 12:27 PM

I wonder if this is related to that piece on NPR the other morning about the scientist who was trying to prove that luck and not talent leads to fame and popularity.

Undertoad · 02-28-2014, 08:20 PM

Wull I din't know anything about the gent until 2008 when I worked at that radio monitoring company. Because I din't listen to radio.

Still he did come up with an interesting style for Empire State where he rapped just behind the beat:

Except the signature piano riff was taken from:
