A method comprising:

• obtaining media interaction histories of a plurality of users, each media interaction history identifying media items interacted with by a corresponding one of the plurality of users and locations at which at least a subset of the media items were interacted with by the corresponding one of the plurality of users;
• enabling a user to select one or more geographic areas;
• obtaining information derived from processing the media consumption histories of at least a subset of the plurality of users to identify one or more media items consumed within the one or more geographic areas;
• and
• providing data that reflects the one or more media items interacted with in the one or more geographic areas.

• obtaining media interaction histories of a plurality of users, each media interaction history identifying media items interacted with by a corresponding one of the plurality of users and locations at which at least a subset of the media items were interacted with by the corresponding one of the plurality of users;
• obtaining a geographic area of interest;
• determining representative information for the geographic area of interest by processing the media interaction histories of at least a subset of the plurality of users;
• and
• effecting display of the representative information.

A central server comprising:

• a communication interface communicatively coupling the central server to a plurality of devices of a plurality of users via a network;
• and
• a control system associated with the communication interface and adapted to:
• obtain media interaction histories of the plurality of users, each media interaction history identifying media items interacted with by a corresponding one of the plurality of users and locations at which at least a subset of the media items were interacted with by the corresponding one of the plurality of users;
• obtain a geographic area of interest;
• determine representative information for the geographic area of interest by processing the media interaction histories of at least a subset of the plurality of users;
• and
• effect display of the representative information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing software for instructing a controller of a computing device to:

• obtain play histories of a plurality of users, each play history identifying media items played by a corresponding one of the plurality of users and locations at which at least a subset of the media items were played by the corresponding one of the plurality of users;
• enable a user to select one or more geographic areas;
• process the play histories of at least a subset of the plurality of users to identify one or more media items played within the one or more geographic areas;
• and
• provide data that reflects the one or more media items played within the one or more geographic areas.
