This Week's Signature Songs, State By State

    Here are the songs that defined America from Sept. 1 to Sept. 8, presented in a new data map premiering this week from BuzzFeed and Spotify. A state's "Signature Song" is not its most popular, but its most distinctive — that is to say, the one that residents of that state streamed proportionally the most as compared with the U.S. as a whole.

    For the week ending Sept. 8, Minnesota and Mississippi showed a strong preference for tradition-bucking country singer Sam Hunt, sunny California and Florida danced to Tove Lo and Kiesza, respectively, Florida Georgia Line found a new border to cross in Kansas/Nebraska, and New York adopted breakout Parisian pop stars Lilly Wood and The Prick. Next Thursday, more distinctive songs from BuzzFeed and Spotify.
