What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
I notice that the popularity density for these five musical
artists greatly vary, and there are no cases where the streaming
information of two artists completely overlaps.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder why different parts of the US prefer certain
artists/music genres.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.

#1)
I thought it was interesting that Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift, who
are more pop-y artists, were streamed the most in the West.
Meanwhile, in the Southwest, Migos is extremely popular. I think
part of the reason for this could be regional cultural
differences. For example, Florida Georgia Line is likely
streamed in the Middle of the US so much because his music
appeals to rural folk. The Western US is known for being
carefree, which might also explain the popularity of Metallica
there.
#2)
I'm curious as to why Maroon 5 seemed to be the only popular
artist in Hawaii out of the selected ones.

I agree with you, it's definitely a possibility that cultural
differences play a role in music consumption.

Music Across the Country

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
I notice that different styles of music are popular in various
parts of the country. For example, Migos is more popular in the
southeast while Metallica is more popular in the southwest.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what affects these statistics and how cultural
differences play a role.

I notice that there what music people listen to is heavily
dependent on the region. For instance, in the southeast region
there is a high density of #2, but none of the others. I wonder
what causes this difference. It would be interesting to see
overlaid on the map a few things like the artist’s birthplace,
where they live now, and where they do most of their concerts. I
would also think it would be interesting to do a more in-depth
study of more artists to see if it is related to their music
style.

I also wonder what causes this difference of music popularity
density, and I think a lot of factors can play into it.

I agree, and I think part of the reason why none of the artists
overlap is because they are all very different styles of music.

I agree, I think seeing various factors about the artists and
their style of music to compare to the given map would be really
interesting. I also wonder how those individual features play a
role in the artists popularity.

1. What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
Something I notice about the second map, the number of streams
for Migos, is that the numbers are concentrated in the southern
states. Pertaining to the third map, Metallica, I notice a much
more even spread.
2. What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes
from what you notice in the graph?
I am curious why some artists are more played in some areas than
others... Could it be because the culture in different areas of
the U.S is different, and different lifestyles and cultures
consider different genres and types of music to be popular/
cool? I think its also interesting to think about the variety of
people listening to music, whos data was poled. For example
their age and gender.
3. What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that
captures the graph’s main idea.
Music Popularity Across the United States.

I agree with this question. I also think it's interesting that
you bring up there are no cases where the streaming information
of two artists completely overlap because I didn't notice that
as much before, I just noticed that it was more concentrated in
certain areas depending on who the artist is.

I notice that depending on the region there are different places
where different types of music are the most popular. For
example, Metallica is most popular in the southwest but Migos is
most popular in the southeast.

I wonder what causes different regions to favor certain types of
music. The cause of this is extremely confusing to me.

I agree, there could be many causes for concentration data:
gender, age, and also a different culture based on the places
where people live.

I notice that the migos, who are from Atlanta and have made rap
music similar to previous southern rappers have a very high
popularity in the south.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from

I wonder where the other artists are from and if that effects
who likes their music. I also wonder if you took the popularity
of each genre of music what the map would look like
