If Kpop wasn't globally popular (1 Viewer)

[Tickita]

...and instead it was your own country's music that went global, what songs do you think would be most popular?

 

[Soogi]

i think angèle would be IU's level and stromae big bang's level, and honestly i dont really know any other big belgian artists that would appeal to the same demographic that kpop does

 

[Hoemantic]

Canada has quite a good amount of globally popular artists but if it were for Quebec (French Canadian) music... I don't like it much beside very few artists. I guess Coeur de Pirate would be popular. She already is in France too.

 

[athenaaa]

I'm gonna talk for the English speaking areas of Canada and I'd say probably Tegan and Sara

i cannot answer this question as it would be extremely biased and i know no one's listening to my favourite songs from over 35 years ago probably some polish rap as this is what i hear as i go outside... but i wouldn't be able to name one modern artist from poland even if my life depended on it lol

Hard to say about country, because there are a lot of popular singers in that genre. lol

 

[SnowWhite]

There is this singer called Arash, his songs were popular in northern Europe and specially Scandinavia, Russia and west Asia in 2000s. I think his works had potential to become globally famous because they are pretty westernized and usually include English verses too.

 

[Areum]

Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber would be really big globally

 

[Michael]

I don't even know what's been produced here anymore or even the name of the genres. I hate all the garbage that's been produced here. I know it has rabid fans; but not me.

So you're saying the country genre will be the most popular /j

 

[Willow]

Probably pop Maybe Bastian Baker

I'm saying country is "America's genre". lol It's what a lot of people listen to here. In fact, on American radio, there's more country stations than any other format.

Is that one guy that we both liked considered modern?

 

[Myco]

Hopefully it would be anything by Madeline Juno who I made a thread about a few days ago

yeah dawid podsiadło very much is, i just forget he exists sometimes since i don't listen to him on a daily basis. but i still see him in a commercial everyday so he is very much modern
