Checking Out AncestryDNA's "The Unique Sound of Your Ancestry" List

It asks for the top 5 ethnicities, I only seem to have 4 main ones, so I also included Germanic Europe since Mom has that (I guess I could have chosen France instead).

I looked at the AncestryDNA/Spotify promotion of "The Unique Sound of Your Ancestry."  I haven't heard of a lot of these bands/songs:

The first three are world famous British bands (Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles).  I am not sure who Alan Walker and Karin Park are (Norwegian and Swedish apparently).

Never heard of any of them: Store P (Norway), Evneverk (Norway), Razika (Norway), The Coronas (Ireland), and The Script (Ireland).

I know who Nenah Cherry (Sweden) is, but Soule (Ireland), Foy Vance (Northern Ireland), GRANT (Sweden), and 1987 (Sweden) are new to me.

Never heard of them: The Tallest Man on Earth (Sweden), Mocky (Canada, traces back to England), Lions Head (German via USA), Alle Farben (Germany), and Capital Bra (Germany).

New stuff to listen to!

Another Look at My Updated DNA Results

I just noticed that although Ancestry DNA's overall estimate of my genetic origins is the same as Christine posted about in June, the maps used to display the results have changed. For instance, what was formerly identified as Great Britain is now called England, Wales & Northwestern Europe expanding its reach to the European continent.

The map of Ireland and Scotland now includes Wales:

The maps for rest of my regions have been similarly broadened. For example, although the Iberian Peninsula influence in my previous estimate has disappeared, the new map for my French connection
embraces most of that area while stating that the primary location is France.

Now I have to see what Ancestry and Spotify suggest for my world of music.
