Tennessee has Dolly Parton, Mississippi has Elvis and California has Jerry Garcia. And don’t forget New Jersey’s monumental musicians: Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and more. Yes, there are some states with more than their share of giant musical artists. But every state has at least one notable musical artist who was born or lived there, representing a range of genres. If someone seems to be missing from this map—Taylor Swift (born in Reading, Penn.) or Beyonce, (born in Houston)—remember the titans shown here have had long careers to establish the popularity and record sales that put them on top.
