Decesele cauzate de accidentele rutiere cresc cu 15% atunci când sunt lansate albumele unor artiști de renume

A recent study in the US indicates a 15% increase in traffic fatalities on days when major music albums were released. Researchers analyzed over 233,000 traffic deaths from 2017 to 2022, finding a correlation between album launches and a rise in fatalities. The study suggests that the use of smartphones for streaming music may distract drivers, although it does not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Notable album releases included works from artists like Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny. The data showed an average of 139.1 deaths on release days compared to 120.9 on other days, leading to an estimated 182 additional fatalities during these periods.
