WTF?!? Taylor Swift? Really?!? What the hell happened to you Pennsylvanians?!?
- Thread starter Post_ShockTherapy_MackDaddy
- Start date
I think that means Taylor Swift is the biggest selling artist FROM Pa.
At least that’s what the image says.
You can blame the rest of the country for that one.

Maybe, born in Brownsville, TN
"Having sold over 100 million records, she is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time......."
I guess it’s been a while since Poison released an album.
That whole map is horrifying
It’s interesting.
I never heard of Spencer Bohren which automatically means I like his music better than Rascal Flatts and Michael Bolton.

The band formed in Los Angeles.
The original band members were from:
- Texas (Don Henley)
- Michigan (Glenn Fry)
- Illinois (Bernie Leadon)
- Nebraska (Randy Meisner)
That’s an odd designation but I don’t know how else you would do it. Also odd that Eminem is from MO and Jewel from Utah.

How'd you like to be Washington with all the great music that has come from there (Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Heart), and your top selling artist is Kenny F'n G.
They probably should have labeled the graphic “by US state of origin” rather than “in each US state”
(edit) Ah, just spotted the little gray addition to the text now. I still like my phrasing better
It's probably a worthless list put together for clicks and not researched well...
That's a kick to the groin
Florida with back street boys! Haha.
Nebraska?
Kansas is perfect
Just to inform Tom, it should be noted that Bernie Leadon of the Eagles lived in Gainesville, FL for awhile although was born in MN. His brother Tom was in Tom Petty’s precursor band to the Heartbreakers, Mudcrutch. Tom Petty’s guitar teacher in Gainesville was Don Felder of the Eagles, who replaced Leadon when he left. But the Eagles formed in CA.
Joe Walsh of the Eagles was originally from Ohio. This leads me to Rascal Flats, the Band on the map from Ohio. The lead singer and his cousin in the band attended some of the same schools my kids did in the Olentangy school district near Columbus, but not at the same time and when it was primarily a rural, farming community district. So it’s not surprising they are a country band.

A little old town in Tennessee, it's called
Quiet little old community, a one-horse town
You have to watch what you're puttin' down
In old Nutbush, they call it Nutbush
I had to look up some of those because I'd never heard of them. Mannheim Steamroller? WTF? I found out their main claim to fame is Christmas albums. Whoever wrote Footloose must have had Nebraska in mind since there doesn't seem to be much of a music scene there.
This thread exposes quite a bit about some board members’ reading, comprehension, and observational skills. And not in a good way.
The industry started awarding Gold / Platinum record designations in 1958. I would guess that there's a good chance that record sales weren't tracked too accurately (or at all) before that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_Turner
Tina Turner was born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939,[a][3] in Brownsville, Tennessee,[4][5][6] the youngest daughter of Zelma Priscilla (née Currie) and Floyd Richard Bullock.[5][7] She lived in Nutbush, Tennessee where her father worked as an overseer of the sharecroppers at Poindexter Farm on Highway 180; Bullock later recalled picking cotton with her family at an early age...
The Harrisburg area produced Dan Hartman and Poison. Not matching cuff links.
Reading for Taylor Swift.
Pittsburgh gave us Tommy James, my favorite. Perry Como too. Pittsburgh has produced a great many good second rate bands.
Philadelphia too many to mention.

This is so cool.
My favs are port the man in Alaska and of course geo in DE
Tay-tay definitely has more sales than Poison and she beats Hall & Oates but I can't figure out where Teddy Pendergrass ranks (do they count sales of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes while Teddy was with them?).

Nutbush is best known as the birthplace and childhood home of singer Tina Turner, who described the town in her 1973 song "Nutbush City Limits".

Perry Como was from Canonsburg as was Bobby Vinton.
Tina was great but I would think Dolly Parton may be up there as well. Dolly has sold a lot of music and is associated with TN as much or more so than Tina. Kenny Rogers may rival George Strait in TX too.
I'm surprised KISS didn't make the list.
KISS have released 40 albums (no other rock bands will ever top this once in a lifetime feat) and sold over 100 million plus in their legendary career. They've influenced artists such as Garth Brooks, Lenny Kravitz, Kurt Cobain, as well as many rock bands.
YOU WANTED THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD...KISS!!!!!

Hey, for my part I was posting at 2 AM during a brief wake up. I’m lucky I even remember being here at all.
