This infographic, produced by last.fm, shows who British users of the music streaming website are listening to throughout a typical day. The horizontal scale begins and ends at 5am, while the proportion of the chart taken up by each artist shows how many more people are listening to their music at a given time than usual. We can see that Britain wakes up to Adele and Lady Gaga, while Four Tet and Caribou get a boost in the afternoon. The evening sees something of an eclectic mix, but Rihanna takes centre stage as the night takes hold.
