Every state features a different type of musical taste, but have you ever wondered which musician is the most searched artist in New Jersey? If you guessed Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber or Harry Styles, you would be wrong. Personally, I was pretty surprised when the answer was revealed to me.
The overall top search artist throughout the country is Kendrick Lamar, but he doesn’t hold the number one spot in New Jersey. Take a look at the top searched artist in every state and see if you’re just as surprised as I was when The Garden State result is revealed!
