Pitbull, shared on average 15 times per month in Hoxton. That does not seem many.
Billy Van seems pretty popular around the world atm. Is he the new Skrillex?

Ed Sheeran, so pretty normal. Does note that people in my area share Gary Barlow an unusually high number of times. :(

Ed Sheeran and Ben Howard are top down here, which is totally unsurprising as the South West loves "quirky" twats with acoustic guitars.

Ha, people in Oxford pirate Yes more than other places.
My previous town (population 7,000) doesn't feature, but if I type it in by postcode it brings up the even smaller town 6 miles away (pop 2,000) where everyone is pirating Hot Chip, and the denizens of Didcot, Oxfordshire are apparently mad for John Fogerty filesharing.

Brighton, Ipswich, Newcastle upon Tyne, Southampton. Everywhere I've ever lived seems to love pirating Ed Sheeran. Might explain why people kept shouting his name at me until I got my hair cut short last month.

Well, my hair is short-ish. I'm one of those twice-a-year haircutters, so for the last few years have got it short on the sides and back to get "value" between cuts.

Ed Sheeran. hopefully his nationwide piracy popularity means he's earning no money and will quit soon.

Perhaps surprisingly, the BPI's annoyance does not appear to be shared by a person you'd perhaps expect to be concerned.Speaking before the release of the report, Ed Sheeran told the BBC that he did not let piracy anger him."I sell a lot of tickets," the songwriter said after his performance at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend."I've sold 1.2 million albums, and the stat is that there's 8 million downloads of that as well illegally."Nine million people have my record, in England, which is quite a nice feeling."I'm still selling albums, but I'm selling tickets at the same time. My gig tickets are like £18, and my albums £8, so ... it's all relative."
