We’re halfway through a busy year in music. Already this year’s new RIAA rules for music streaming sales have bolstered blockbuster acts in a huge way.
Drake’s album “Views” has been a runaway hit mainly off the strength of its streams. Even Adele, who was once notably holding her work from streaming services, has since caved in and made her latest album “25″ streamable.
To get a sense of which artists are dominating the streaming field in the US, we turned to Pandora Radio, the streaming and music recommendation service, for a complete list of the aritsts whose Pandora “artist stations” were most frequently added in each of the 50 states so far this year. It’s a snapshot of what the streaming audience is most hungry for these days.
Turns out, Drake is just as popular as everyone thinks he is — though not everywhere. Some states have some curveball favorites.
