I notice that the maps for the Migos and Metallica are almost
inverses of eachother.
I wonder why the concentration of people who listen to Florida
Georgia Line don’t seem to be concentrated in Florida or
Georgia.
I also wonder how the music tastes in these maps connect to race
demographics in those states.

I didn't even notice this, but the fact that Florida and Georgia
aren't at all concentrated for Florida Georgia line is
interesting to me, and I also wonder why this is, and if this
means that the name of a band has little impact on the
popularity of the band.

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.

I agree that the different genres of music could explain why
certain areas prefer certain artists, and I think it could be
due to racial demographics in the region.

I think that Migos, a hip-hop group, differs so much from
Metallica (rock/metal) that it kind of makes sense that the
people listening to one artist would likely not listen to the
other.

I noticed that Taylor and Migos are listened to in basically
opposite areas. The majority of people that listen to Taylor
Swift were in the north-west areas and Migos had more people
listen in the south-east areas.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder why people listen to more Taylor Swift in those areas
and what age the people are that this data is coming from.
What’s going on in this graph? Write a catchy headline that

Different artists and the amount of people that listen to them
in various areas.

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.

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

I totally agree I wonder where the other artists are from and if
it effects the people that like their music!!

What do you notice? If you make a claim, tell us what you
noticed that supports your claim.
Comparing map 2 (Migos) and map 4 (Taylor Swift), I noticed that
Taylor Swift, who is considered more country, was streamed in
the Northwest and Midwest regions of the country, whereas Migos,
who is considered more hip-hop, was streamed in the Southeast
(and somewhat Northeast) regions of the country. From this, one
could make a claim that in less densely populated areas, like
the midwest, country music is more popular, and in the more
densely populated areas, with more cities in close proximity,
hip-hop and pop music are more popular.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder what the age ranges for the streaming of these artists
was, and I also wonder if race plays a role in the streaming.
For example, if a certain region, geographically, has a higher
percentage of a certain race, would the type of music being
streamed and it’s popularity be affected?

I agree that the people that listened to Taylor Swift were more
in the Northwest and Midwest areas and that her music is
considered more like country music.

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.

I am also curious about about whether some artists are played
more in certain areas because that could have effected the data.

After looking at the racial dot map, I think race may play a
role in the variations. For example, a certain ethnic group or
race may feel more culturally or emotionally connected to a
certain artist. In big cities, the racial dot map showed more
diversity, so that could also influence what artists are
portrayed as popular in those areas.

What do you notice?
I noticed that most artists who were popular in the Midwest are
also popular in the Northern part of the Northeast, such as
Maine and New Hampshire, but not as much on the East Coast or in
the Southeast part of the United States.
What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from
what you notice in the graph?
I wonder why this is. There seems to be a big difference in
lifestyle between people who live in cities and people who live
in the country- this may explain some things?
