I don't know about 
New Jersey that I didn't study in details but for sure 
Pennsylvania has a big music industry.
About my own State of
Tennessee, the 2016+ rule has never been an issue (I generally send songs that are less than one year old anyway).
About States that could join the (1) list, the cases that would be debatable in my opinion (according to their population and my knowledge of their music industry) would be
Ohio, 
Missouri, 
Arizona and 
Massachusetts.
Another question could also be raised: maybe we could define not 2 but 3 cateogries:
(1) drawable States (it could be the category shown above)
(2) intermediate States (they wouldn't be drawable but their industry would be big enough to sustain the 2016+ rule)
(3) small States (their industry is quite small and they would be allowed to use songs from 2010+)
My proposition would be to assign by default to category (3) all the States that sent 5 or less electors to the election of the President and to adjust that list if necessary.

Regardless of their music industry I think they all should be equal. What if I for example had California and wanted to send a song from 2012 that I really love? 
New Orleans in top 10 of such a ranking but I doubt it’s that good, especially when we talk about the contest standards. 
New York's draw.
