SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2017-- (NASDAQ:AMZN) - Love reigns at Amazon.com as the company today released its annual list of Top 20 Most Romantic Cities.

The list is determined by a compilation of sales data from cities with more than 100,000 residents on a per capita basis and includes purchases of romance novels and relationship books (both Kindle and print); romantic comedy movies (DVDs and digital); a curated list of romantic music, including artists like Adele, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Drake, Brad Paisley and Barry White (CDs and MP3 format); as well as the sales of sexual wellness products.

The Top 20 Most Romantic Cities in the U.S. are:

1. San Antonio, Texas 11. Columbia, S.C.

2. Miami, Fla. 12. Vancouver, Wash.

3. Alexandria, Va. 13. Gainesville, Fla.

8. Pittsburgh, Pa. 18. Portland, Ore.

9. Atlanta, Ga. 19. Round Rock, Texas

10. Ann Arbor, Mich. 20. Rochester, N.Y.

Some of the interesting findings in Amazon's romantic data revealed that:

Lovers in Seattle and Atlanta set the mood without delay, ordering more Romance novels using Prime FREE Same-Day Delivery than any other city on the list. Top Romance titles included First Comes Love by Emily Giffin, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.

Kindle Unlimited members fell in love with love, reading tens of millions of romance books in the last year, including Everything We Keep by Kerry Lonsdale, Worth the Wait by Jamie Beck and Doing It Over by Catherine Bybee.

Customers enjoyed binge-watching romantic films and TV series on Prime Video last year. The Amazon Original series Catastrophe, Mozart in the Jungle and Doctor Thorne, as well as movies like Age of Adaline and Equals were among the most streamed romantic titles.

Chicago, Houston, New York, San Diego and Seattle stoked the fire of love all year long by streaming the most love songs from Amazon Music.

From Fleetwood Mac to the Rolling Stones, customers shook it all night long by streaming Classic Rock Love Songs more than any other romantic playlist.

Amazon Alexa customers got sentimental - some of the most requested love songs on Alexa included Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston and Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.

Customers upped their romance game and ordered flowers and chocolate truffles via Alexa.

Temperatures are rising in Florida as four cities made the Top 20 list.
