FAQ
These cover how musicians were handled, what the score measures, and where it stops.
Because in Nashville the alternative is a list that does not describe Nashville. The usual exclusion exists to keep famous artists off a creator ranking, since their numbers measure fame. Here the athlete test was used instead: fame against bookability rather than category. A bio naming a craft, a guitarist in two bands or a drummer offering clinics, stays. A bio that is an album out now or a tour on sale does not, and eight accounts came off on that basis.
Two NFL players and a college footballer whose bios name only a team. A dental practice, an apparel company and a high-school sports media account, none of which is a person. A photojournalist and a broadcast meteorologist, on the same rule applied to journalists across this batch. The chief executive of an advocacy organisation, on the political rule. And the accounts whose entire bio is a state name or a payment handle.
From 21,194 to 313,485 followers. The largest is a signed songwriter and the smallest is a photographer, and the photographer ranks higher, which is the index doing exactly what it is for.
The proportion of that one account's followers located in Nashville, measured on 17 September 2026. Creator location was a separate condition. Across these 25 the share runs from 16% to 50% with a median of 26%, which is lower than a city this size might suggest because Nashville's music audience is national by construction.
The United States Instagram study of 15 September 2026, built on 929,228 creator accounts, whose engagement medians are 0.79% in the 10,000 to 50,000 band and 0.56% above 250,000. Creator measurements here were taken on 17 September, so the two sources keep separate dates.
Rates, availability, whether recent work suits a brief, or whether a campaign converts. It compares four measurements from one day across this page alone. Build a list with it, then read the posts and ask for terms.
