0:00 Speaker 1: Some quick music news. This is from Digital Musicnews dot Com.

0:03 Speaker 1: Kind of appropriate for the holiday. They are reporting that

0:07 Speaker 1: sixty nine percent of Spotify streams in the US come

0:11 Speaker 1: from American artists. The latest data reveals, says. Spotify releases

0:17 Speaker 1: some listening stats for America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday,

0:21 Speaker 1: revealing that seventy percent oh. This says, seventy percent of

0:25 Speaker 1: the Spotify oh of the Spotify Top fifty in the

0:28 Speaker 1: US is made up of American music, so sixty nine

0:31 Speaker 1: percent overall, seventy five percent of the Top fifty in

0:34 Speaker 1: the US is made up of American music. The United

0:36 Speaker 1: States is turning two fifty and Spotify has released some

0:39 Speaker 1: fun listening statistics to celebrate the occasion. Again, this is

0:43 Speaker 1: from Digitalmusicnews dot Com. According to the streamer, sixty nine

0:46 Speaker 1: percent of all streams in the country go to American artists,

0:49 Speaker 1: and American music makes up seventy percent of the Spotify

0:53 Speaker 1: Top fifty chart in the US in twenty twenty five. Unsurprisingly,

0:57 Speaker 1: listeners in the South and the Midwest stream the most

1:01 Speaker 1: music made in America in just the past week. Spotify

1:05 Speaker 1: says Mississippi topp that list, followed by West Virginia, South Dakota, Alabama,

1:10 Speaker 1: and Louisiana. The artists driving those numbers quote captured the

1:14 Speaker 1: breadth of the American sound unquote, says Spotify, including chart

1:18 Speaker 1: topper Taylor, Swift, Bad Bunny, Morgan Wallan, Kendrick Lamar, and

1:22 Speaker 1: Post Malone. Of those, Morgan Wallan has an exceptionally strong

1:27 Speaker 1: home market audience, with seventy four percent of his streams

1:30 Speaker 1: coming from US listeners, the highest share among American artists

1:35 Speaker 1: each year, Oh Wait, Sorry, I'm skipping ahead globally, Taylor, Swift,

1:41 Speaker 1: Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Eminem are among

1:44 Speaker 1: the most streamed American artists of all time. In the

1:47 Speaker 1: past year, people outside the US stream songs featuring at

1:50 Speaker 1: least one American artist seven hundred and seventy six billion times.

1:55 Speaker 1: Each year, Americans play over six hundred and fifty thousand

1:59 Speaker 1: fourth of July themed playlists, featuring tracks like Bruce Springsteen's

2:03 Speaker 1: Born in the USA, Lee Greenwood's God Bless America, Katy

2:07 Speaker 1: Perry's Firework, John Mellencamp's Rock and the USA, and Ray

2:12 Speaker 1: Charles's America. The Beautiful Pop, Hip Hop, Rock, Indian Country,

2:16 Speaker 1: are the American genres most streamed within the country, while pop,

2:22 Speaker 1: hip hop, rock, dance, and indie lead internationally. Over that

2:27 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. Over the last five years, streams of

2:29 Speaker 1: American country music have grown more than ninety four percent

2:34 Speaker 1: outside the US. That's interesting. That does surprise me. Interestingly,

2:40 Speaker 1: English language tracks only account for eighty six percent of

2:43 Speaker 1: streams in the United States, a number that's steadily dropping

2:48 Speaker 1: in the face of the continued rise of Latin and

2:51 Speaker 1: K pop music. Bad Bunny, who mostly sings in Spanish,

2:55 Speaker 1: has undoubtedly undoubtedly contributed to this number, especially after headlining

3:01 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year. So there,

3:05 Speaker 1: you know, just some numbers and stats. Again, the headline

3:09 Speaker 1: means sixty nine percent of Spotify streams in the US

3:11 Speaker 1: come from American artists, according to the latest data.
