A study from Harvard Medical School researchers indicates a 15 percent increase in traffic fatalities on days when major music albums are released. Analyzing data from 2017 to 2022, the study found that these increases were more pronounced on clear days and among sober, young, and male drivers. The researchers suggest that the surge in streaming activity and the impulse to interact with music controls on car infotainment systems may contribute to this rise in distracted driving and subsequent accidents.
