Someone put together a map showing the top-selling musical act from each state. Meaning the state they were BORN in . . . not the one they grew up in. But its based on the top 250 artists listed by the Recording Industry Association of America . . . so not every state is represented. Here are the results: Alabama: Alabama Arizona: Linda Ronstadt Arkansas: Johnny Cash California: Metallica Delaware: George Thorogood Florida: Tom Petty Georgia: Alan Jackson Hawaii: Bette Midler Illinois: R. Kelly Indiana: Michael Jackson Iowa: Andy Williams Kansas: Martina McBride Kentucky: John Michael Montgomery Louisiana: Tim McGraw Maryland: Toni Braxton Massachusetts: New Kids on the Block Michigan: Madonna Minnesota: Prince Mississippi: Elvis Presley Missouri: Sheryl Crow New Jersey: Bruce Springsteen New Mexico: John Denver New York: Billy Joel North Carolina: Randy Travis Ohio: Rascal Flatts Oklahoma: Garth Brooks Pennsylvania: Boyz II Men Tennessee: Kenny Chesney Texas: Kenny Rogers Utah: Jewel Virginia: Dave Matthews Washington: Kenny G West Virginia: Michael W. Smith Wisconsin: Steve Miller The states that were NOT represented on the map are: Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. -CNT
