Google trends is a fun little tool which lets you put in a search term and find out which countries and cities in the world(and in which language) are searching for that term the most. I thought I would put some music searches in there just to see what came up
Search term: House Music
| Cities | ||
| Johannesburg, South Africa | ||
| Melbourne, Australia | ||
| Lisbon, Portugal | ||
| Miami, FL, USA | ||
| Chicago, IL, USA | ||
| Toronto, Canada | ||
| Brentford, United Kingdom | ||
| Sydney, Australia | ||
| New York, NY, USA | ||
Interestingly the number one language that it is was searched in was Bulgarian. New Zealand was 10th on the country list.
Search term: Drum & Bass
| Cities | ||
| Bristol, United Kingdom | ||
| Reading, United Kingdom | ||
| Poplar, United Kingdom | ||
| Moscow, Russia | ||
| Milton Keynes, United Kingdom | ||
| Birmingham, United Kingdom | ||
| Brentford, United Kingdom | ||
| Thames Ditton, United Kingdom | ||
| Brussels, Belgium | ||
Unsurprisingly the UK fills almost the entire top 10. As for languages English is a lowly 8th while Estonian, Russian, Hungarian, and Lithuanian make up the top 4. New Zealand is 8th on the countries list.
Search Term: Progressive House
| Cities | ||
| Vilnius, Lithuania | ||

Again Lithuanian is the top language and this time it’s capital is the top location!
Search term: Electro House

Lithuanian and Russian are the top 2 languages while Morocco is the top country.
I wonder if you could plan your holiday this way?
Seems based on my music tastes the UK, Lithuania, Portugal and Spain are places i should visit!

Some of those I expected and some of those really shocked me…
I didn’t expect Spain to be up there in electro house more like trance…
