consumption, music, genre, streamingResumo
Music is one of the cultural segments that most adapts and innovates, as observed in the recent rise of streaming services. The consumption of digital music has altered the dynamics of the market and the way people enjoy it. The aim of this article is to show trends and tastes of Brazilian individuals, taking into account musical genres. For this purpose, it uses data of playlists collected from the Spotify streaming platform through its API. The results show that genres such as sertanejo universitário and international pop have great national reach. However, other national genres and artists with less popularity have a relevant and distinct demand in some Brazilian cities. Our analysis indicates both the maintenance of the traditional consumption as the rise of the mass-replacement model. Therefore, a regionalization of the musical taste in Brazil is evidenced,which suggests a potential of musical niches in the context of the streaming market.
