Who do you think is the highest streamer of gay-pride inspired playlists? It’s not Sydney, not Melbourne but BRISBANE! Congratulations to Brisbane on being the Proudest city.
Baby, we were Born This Way: Lady Gaga’s Born This Way came out tops as the most popular pride anthem. It was the most commonly found track across the pride-themed playlists analysed.

What are the most common trends and music from each region in Australia?
NSW and VIC keep things local. NSW and VIC are most likely to throw their support behind the local music scene, with Aussie up-and-comers Banoffee, Masketta Fall and George Maple all topping the Most Distinctive Artists list.
SA loves pop-punk and QLD listens to country. Pop-punk rockers The Story So Far and Neck Deep were streamed at an unusually high rate in SA, while country starts Kenny Chesney and Slim Dusty proved to be disproportionately popular in QLD.
Legacy Artists: Aussie rockers AC/DC are most loved by WA whereas VIC stream the most The Beatles and Shannon Noll over any other state per capita.
