A company named Music Metric has tabulated the number of torrents worldwide by country, along with the most pirated artist in each nation. The depressing results are below. As in so many things, America is #1. Another thing the study reveals is that people who habitually torrent have mediocre musical taste.
· United States - 96.7 million downloads - Drake (most torrented artist)
· United Kingdom - 43.3 million downloads - Ed Sheeran
· Italy - 33.2 million downloads - Laura Pausini
· Canada - 24 million downloads - Kanye West
· Brazil - 19.7 million downloads - Billy Van
· Australia - 19.2 million downloads - Hilltop Hoods
· Spain - 10.3 million downloads - Pablo Alboran
· India - 9 million downloads - Billy Van
· France - 8.4 million downloads - Sexion d'assaut
· Philippines - 8.4 million downloads - Maroon 5
