Here are the songs that defined America from November 4 to November 10, presented by BuzzFeed and Spotify. A state’s “signature song” is not its most popular, but its most distinctive — that is to say, the one that residents of that state streamed proportionally the most as compared with the U.S. as a whole.

For the week ending Nov. 11, Nicki Minaj's new single "Only" surged in Texas, Fifth Harmony came down like a "Sledgehammer" in Delaware, North Dakota drove Keith Urban's "Somewhere In My Car" to the top and Irish newcomer Hozier continued his hold on Ohio and Utah with "Take Me To Church."
