An interactive map of songs about cities
Spotimap - A map of songs about cities
Have you ever been alone in Kyoto? Is London calling you? Do you love New York but the place is bringing you down? Then this interactive map will be perfect for you! Explore the world while you listen to songs about cities.
Datasets
The map uses the data from this two tables:
Source
The songs on this map were manually extracted from the Wikipedia article List of songs about cities using a combination of infinite patience and regular expressions.
Contributing
This map doesn't pretend to be an exhaustive collection of songs about cities, but if you want me to add a particular song, please do this:
- Check that the song exists in Spotify.
- Check that city doesn't appear in the list of pending cities below.
- Add the song to the article List of songs about cities (or the corresponding subarticle.)
- Create an issue in this repository with the name of the song, the city, and the change in the Wikipedia page.
I know it's a tedious process, but you'll be helping the Wikipedia, this humble project and future generations of music lovers at the same time.
Pending cities
This is a list of cities I still need to import:
- Atlanta
- Birmingham
- Birmingham, Alabama

- Chicago
- Detroit
- Jerusalem
- Liverpool
- Los Angeles
- Manchester
- Manila
