Locations of artists in Billboard’s Top Hot 100 determined by their myspace pages and,
when more specificity was required, wikipedia.
Locations of artists in Pitchfork’s 100 Best determined by their myspace pages and,
when more specificity was required, wikipedia or Pitchfork’s own reviews.
The UK seems to be missing from the Pitchfork map. At a glance, Jamie Lidell and Los Campesinos! are both British, so there should be at least something tagged.
Who is the artist in Salt Lake City?
Lot more in Mississippi than you would have thought, huh?
Good to see Men at Work getting the thumbs up from Pitchfork after so long in the wilderness.
Schroduck you are correct. I nudged the UK aside while putting Germany in and somehow forgot to return it.
Maxwell – every horrible rock band on top 40 radio is from either Los Angeles or Mississippi.
Actually, there are none from Mississippi. The top dot is from Memphis, TN, while the one to the bottom is New Orleans.
Who the heck lives in West Leb? (That is to say, near Dartmouth, in NH, or possibly Concord)
@maryr: Maybe it’s J.D. Salinger posing as a band?
Mark: And the five between?
