Who are the best-selling artists born in each state?
A map posted this week in the subreddit MapPorn by Reddit user famicon3 strives to answer that question. While no source is cited, the map appears to jibe with Wikipedia's list of best-selling music artists.
Note that the map shows the best-selling of all artists born in a given state (even if they moved away long ago) or the best-selling group formed in that state. While individual members of the Eagles were born outside of California, the group originated in the Golden State.
While no one will be shocked that Garth Brooks is the king of Oklahoma, some might find it surprising that certain singers and groups whose best years are well behind them still hold the title in their state of birth or origin.
