Nielsen Maps Out Music

Nielsen has created an interesting infographic which illustrates how regions in the US interact with music.

Music Mapped Out that carves the U.S. into regions, and analyzes how their populations listen to, and pay for, music.

For example:

• The Pacific coast streams music to a greater extent (51.3%) than any other region. That population also pays for music streams more than other populations (7.5%).
• Conversely, the northern-middle part of the country takes least advantage of streaming, at 37%.
• In every region, the car radio is the most-used listening medium, and PCs are the second-most preferred. Only the third-most used device is up for grabs throughout the U.S.
