As of late July, Detroit Rock City had about 41,594,000 plays on Spotify. "Detroit Rock City" by KISS has been named the best song written about Michigan.
Oddly, the song briefly mentions Detroit, but the storyline that plays out in the song didn't happen in Detroit.
here is what 24/7 Wall St. Said:
"Kiss helped define Detroit’s rock identity with “Detroit Rock City,” but the storyline that plays out in the song didn’t take place in Detroit. Paul Stanley reportedly had the song title and finished the rest of the lyrics after a fan was killed outside a Kiss show in Charlotte, North Carolina."
