Ever wondered which city has the best music scene of them all? Researchers at Replay Poker have analysed the music fan bases of 34 US cities to discover which artists have the greatest popularity.

Their research considers the size of each artist’s fan base according to Spotify’s audience insights and estimates how much an artist earns per year from a city based on the average number of times that a fan would stream an artist per month. Their analysis also compared Spotify charts where we looked at the weekly top charts for each city in the world for the past 6 months to see which cities have the most similar music tastes.

Key findings:

  • Drake is Atlanta’s most popular musician right now with 144k of his fans on Spotify from Atlanta, generating him an estimated $245,549 a year in equivalent Spotify earnings from streams
  • Atlanta native, Lil Baby, is the city’s second most popular music artist with an impressive 98,300 fans from which he makes an average of $167,621 a year from streams on Spotify.
  • “Or Nah” rapper Ty Dolla $ign ranked as one of Atlanta’s least favourite musician with only 1,580 in Atlanta, only earning her $2,694 a year from streams from his Atlanta fans.
  • Toronto, CA has the most similar music taste to Atlanta in the world and Osaka, JP has the least similar music taste to Atlanta.

  • For this analysis, we sourced the data through Spotify charts where we looked at the weekly top charts for each city for the past 6 months and checked which songs appeared in each city.

  • Based on this, of the 378 songs which have appeared on Atlanta’s Spotify top charts in the past 6 months, 273 (72%) of them also appeared in Toronto, CA, (more than anywhere in the world) meaning Toronto is Atlanta’s musical twin city.
  • Osaka, Japan had the least similar music taste to Atlanta in the world with only 0.8% of songs on each city’s local top chats matching.
Rank City # of songs shared % of songs matching
1 Toronto 273 72%

5 Montreal 214 57%
6 Sydney 173 46%
7 Cape Town 172 46%
7 Melbourne 172 46%
9 Brisbane 159 42%
10 Auckland 155 41%

Methodology: 

  • Our analysis of the most popular and highest-earning artists in 34 US major cities. Artist fan bases were calculated per 10,000 of a city’s local population size.
  • The number of fans per artist in each city was sourced from Spotify’s Ad Studio. By targeting the maximum possible reach for fans of specific artists, we were able to discover the estimated size of each artist’s fan base in each major US city, according to Spotify listeners.
  • The total estimated earnings each artist makes per year from their fans in each city is based on the following calculation:
    • The average Spotify user in Europe streams 99 minutes of music per day.
    • 99 minutes divided by the average length of a song on Spotify (3 minutes 19 seconds) equals 29 songs.
    • A fan streaming 99 minutes at least once per month listens to 348 songs a year.
    • 348 streams multiplied by the number of fans per location equals the number of songs listened to in one year per location per artist.
    • That figure multiplied by Spotify earnings per stream equals total artist earnings per city.

Black Feminist Movement Mobilizes in Response to National Threats

BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE — More than 500 Black feminists will convene in New Orleans from June 5 through 7 for what organizers are calling the largest Black feminist gathering in the United States.

More than 500 Black feminists will convene in New Orleans from June 5 through 7 for what organizers are calling the largest Black feminist gathering in the United States. The event, led by the organization Black Feminist Future, is headlined by activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis. Paris Hatcher, executive director of Black Feminist Future, joined Black Press USA’s Let It Be Known to outline the mission and urgency behind the gathering, titled “Get Free.” “This is not just a conference to dress up and have a good time,” Hatcher said. “We’re building power to address the conditions that are putting our lives at risk—whether that’s policing, reproductive injustice, or economic inequality.” Hatcher pointed to issues such as rising evictions among Black families, the rollback of bodily autonomy laws, and the high cost of living as key drivers of the event’s agenda. “Our communities are facing premature death,” she said.

Workshops and plenaries will focus on direct action, policy advocacy, and practical organizing skills. Attendees will participate in training sessions that include how to resist evictions, organize around immigration enforcement, and disrupt systemic policies contributing to poverty and incarceration. “This is about fighting back,” Hatcher said. “We’re not conceding anything.” Hatcher addressed the persistent misconceptions about Black feminism, including the idea that it is a movement against men or families. “Black feminism is not a rejection of men,” she said. “It’s a rejection of patriarchy. Black men must be part of this struggle because patriarchy harms them too.” She also responded to claims that organizing around Black women’s issues weakens broader coalitions. “We don’t live single-issue lives,” Hatcher said. “Our blueprint is one that lifts all Black people.”

The conference will not be streamed virtually, but recaps and updates will be posted daily on Black Feminist Future’s YouTube channel and Instagram account. The event includes performances by Tank and the Bangas and honors longtime activists including Billy Avery, Erica Huggins, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs. When asked how Black feminism helps families, Hatcher said the real threat to family stability is systemic oppression. “If we want to talk about strong Black families, we have to talk about mass incarceration, the income gap, and the systems that tear our families apart,” Hatcher said. “Black feminism gives us the tools to build and sustain healthy families—not just survive but thrive.”

Hoover’s Commutation Divides Chicago as State Sentence Remains

BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE — Hoover was convicted of murder and running a criminal enterprise. Although some supporters describe him as a political prisoner, the legal and public safety concerns associated with his name remain substantial.

The federal sentence for Gangster Disciples founder Larry Hoover has been commuted, but he remains incarcerated under a 200-year state sentence in Illinois. The decision by Donald Trump to reduce Hoover’s federal time has reignited longstanding debates over his legacy and whether rehabilitation or continued punishment is warranted. The commutation drew immediate public attention after music executive Jay Prince and artist Chance the Rapper publicly praised Trump’s decision. “I’m glad that Larry Hoover is home,” said Chance the Rapper. “He was a political prisoner set up by the federal government. He created Chicago Votes, mobilized our people, and was targeted for that.”

But Hoover, the founder of the Gangster Disciples, is not home—not yet. Now in federal custody at the Florence Supermax in Colorado, Hoover was convicted of murder and running a criminal enterprise. Although some supporters describe him as a political prisoner, the legal and public safety concerns associated with his name remain substantial. “There is a divide in the Black community here,” said Chicago journalist Jason Palmer during an appearance on the Let It Be Known morning program. “Some view Hoover as someone who brought structure and leadership. Others remember the violence that came with his organization.” Palmer explained that while Hoover’s gang originally formed for protection, it grew into a criminal network responsible for extensive harm in Chicago. He also noted that Hoover continued to run his organization from state prison using coded messages passed through visitors, prompting his transfer to federal custody.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who is widely considered a potential 2028 presidential contender, has not issued a statement. Palmer suggested that silence is strategic. “Releasing Hoover would create enormous political consequences,” Palmer said. “The governor’s in a difficult spot—he either resists pressure from supporters or risks national backlash if he acts.” According to Palmer, Hoover’s federal commutation does not make him a free man. “The federal sentence may be commuted, but he still has a 200-year state sentence,” he said. “And Illinois officials have already made it clear they don’t want to house him in state facilities again. They prefer he remains in federal custody, just somewhere outside of Colorado.”

Palmer also raised concerns about what Hoover’s case could signal for others. “When R. Kelly was convicted federally, state prosecutors in Illinois and Minnesota dropped their charges. If a president can commute federal sentences based on public pressure or celebrity support, others like R. Kelly or Sean Combs could be next,” Palmer said. “Meanwhile, there are thousands of incarcerated people without fame or access to public platforms who will never get that consideration.” “There are people who are not here today because of the violence connected to these organizations,” Palmer said. “That has to be part of this conversation.”
