Spotify have created an interactive ‘musical map’ of cities around the world, including Belfast, Dublin and Cork.

The aim of the map is to show the distinctive sound of a city, by featuring songs that are enjoyed in the city much more than elsewhere.

A six hour playlist called ‘The Sound of Belfast’ shows 100 of the most popular songs with people in the city.

Although there are tracks from international artists like Ed Sheeran, Pixie Lott and Take That the list is overwhelmingly comprised of local artists including SOAK, Foy Vance and Nathan Carter.
