NOTTINGHAM is hitting all the right notes as residents lap up local talent like Jake Bugg and Dog is Dead.
Music website Spotify says the city is second only to London when it comes to streaming music, beating cities like Birmingham and Edinburgh.
Spotify studied the average number of minutes of music listened to per day by each Spotify user in each major city.
Will Hope, of Spotify, said: "It's interesting to see that the UK's second biggest community of music fans are in Nottingham, pushing the more famously 'musical' cities of Manchester and Liverpool down the list."
To celebrate Spotify has created a Nottingham playlist featuring Jake Bugg, Editors – as one of the members went to Toot Hill School in Bingham – and Stereo MC's.
Lee Durbin, 28, of Sherwood, said: "These days I use Spotify exclusively for access to music. I don't buy CDs anymore as I don't see the benefit in spending a tenner on a physical product which only differs from its digital equivalent in terms of the artwork."
Post reviewer Mike Atkinson said: "It's a weird one. Either we are music-mad, or we're just a city of cheapskates."
