Pirating music: People love to do it, but what are they snagging? Data company Musicmetric rounded up a list of the most pirated artists of the year and it might surprise you.
Many of the artists at the top of the list — Bruno Mars and Daft Punk, for example — are predictable because of their high-profile releases. But, uh, Flo Rida somehow hit #5, even though he didn’t put out a record in 2013, and I can’t even remember the last time I cared about the dude.
For those of you wondering, Musicmetric measures approximately 90 per cent of BitTorrent traffic. Flo Rida! Who’d a thunk it. I wish there were some magical takeaway. Maybe it’s just confused people looking for the state?
