Louisiana: Lil Wayne
Born in New Orleans, Lil Wayne got signed to Cash Money Records at 11 (and all this time you just thought he was short). In the 25 years since then, Weezy’s had 136 songs enter the Billboard 100 Charts (more than Elvis Presley, but less than those darn kids from Glee!) and has announced that 2018’s long-delayed Tha Carter V is his last album.

The numbers don't lie

Washington: Kenny G
For a state that prides itself as the birthplace of grunge, it’s only fitting that the highest-selling artist to emerge from Washington (in the early ’90s no less) is none other than Kenny G. With 48 million albums sold, Kenny and that smooth, smooth sax have ensured we’ll never have to endure an awkward elevator silence again.

Kenny G probably slayed more poon as well

No one buys music anymore boomer. Who is the most streamed artist/band from each state? That will give you a more accurate list

Would not have guessed Wiz Khalifa as a North Dakotian, but looks like he was a military brat.. so.
And John Denver.... Not one song about new mexico.

Eminem is from Missouri?
Yup, until he was 14
quote:
Missouri: Eminem
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Eminem is obviously a native of Detroit (like 8 Mile didn’t make that clear enough), but, in fairness, he was born and raised until age 14 in Missouri. Throughout the 2000s, Eminem had ten #1 albums on the Billboard Hot 100, nine of which debuted there consecutively, making him the highest-selling artist of that decade.

Don’t laugh. Wiz Khalifa—raised a military brat—was, in fact, born in Minot, North Dakota, prior to moving to Germany, Japan and, eventually, Pittsburgh. He’s got two platinum and two gold albums, one of which is the soundtrack for his straight-to-DVD stoner comedy with Snoop Dog Mac & Devin Go to High School (set at N. Hale High—now you’re allowed to laugh).

this seems made up

This list ranks the highest-selling musical acts from each state according to statistics provided by the Recording Industry Association of America in terms of total units sold. Gold records are equivalent to half a million albums, while platinum ones equate to a million albums. We’re looking at U.S.-only totals. And we’re defining origin by state of birth or state where a band was formed. As for streaming data — well, that’s another article for another time, sheerly for our sanity here at Paste.

you got me. I read it as the data from each state, not the artist from each state.
