We looked into over a year of Spotify’s Top 200 charts across 73 countries to understand where local music thrives and where it doesn’t. India leads with 85% of top tracks from domestic artists, followed closely by Turkey, Vietnam, and Italy. At the other end, countries like Costa Rica, Guatemala, and El Salvador feature local artists in less than 1% of their top chart entries.

How did you pick which countries feature in the origin of artists list?
Where can I find the whole list?
It’s interesting how in the last 10 years in Finland, Finnish music has gained a lot of popularity, and in return English music has gone down hard. I don’t even know what the global top songs are right now.
I am surprised to not see more of UK in India’s list
Interesting data but poor choices of colors.
Im turkish but i often suprised about how unpopular foreign media are in turkey.
India listens to more Canadian music than American? That is mildly interesting.
