Based on per-capita spending, Norway is the country with the biggest music market per person.
While "loving music the most" can be subjective and measured in many ways, one metric used to gauge a country's engagement with music is the average amount spent on music per person annually. This spending can include purchases of physical albums, digital downloads, streaming subscriptions, and potentially other music-related expenditures depending on how the data is compiled.

It is important to note that per-capita spending is just one indicator and does not capture all aspects of how much a country "loves" music, such as concert attendance, participation in music creation, or cultural significance. However, based strictly on the financial support shown through spending in the music market as presented in the reference, Norway leads the list.
