Oddities: Location of Musical Tastes
January 31st, 2010 § Leave a Comment
I have a last.fm account (look on the sidebar to see a link to it in case anyone was curious). I stumbled across a generator for the last.fm scrobbles that I thought was pretty neat and somewhat useful.
Last.fm nationality statistics
Where do your favourite bands come from?
Pretty neat generator, really. I decided to go ahead and put in my information, and these are the results:
| Playcount | Country |
|---|---|
| 4672 | Japan |
| 4617 | United States |
| 2296 | United Kingdom |
| 2247 | Korea |
| 1684 | Canada |
| 136 | Unknown |
| 75 | France |
| 27 | Australia |
| 9 | Germany |
| 8 | Russia |
| 5 | Ireland |
| 2 | Iceland |
| 1 | Sweden |
| 1 | Norway |
| 1 | Netherlands |
Back in the day, when all I would listen to was Japanese music and crap on the Radio, Japan dominated my account. Now, that I’ve become a little more diverse, the US, Japan, Korea, UK, and Canada are the top 5 countries where my musical tastes stem from.
I never realized how much of a variety I had when it came to music. I only hope to continue to find new music to expand on.
If you want to try the generator yourself, go to Xhochy.org
