The following cities rounded out the top 20:
- San Antonio, Texas
- Miami, Florida
- Alexandria, Virginia
- Orlando, Florida
- Salt Lake City, Utah
- Knoxville, Tennessee
- Cincinnati, Ohio
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Ann Arbor, Michigan
- Columbia, South Carolina
- Vancouver, Washington
- Gainesville, Florida
- Seattle, Washington
- Scottsdale, Arizona
- Tampa, Florida
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Portland, Oregon
- Rochester, New York
Worth noting: Philadelphia -- which translates literally to 'city of brotherly love' -- didn't make the list at all.
In creating the list, Amazon examined who was buying romance novels, relationship books, romantic comedy movies, romantic music and -- of course -- "sexual wellness products".
There is one piece good news for hopeless romantics in Houston: Space City was among the cities that streamed the most love songs on Amazon Music. Some of the most requested romantic songs tunes "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston and "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash.
