getinthezone Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 I played bad bunny to some friends this week and most of them have never heard of him (Europe)
Witnessed ET Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Can we lay this to rest now idk if people are deliberately choosing not to see the logic here or what….but artists who are “ruling the charts” or “raking in numbers” nowadays are nowhere near the multigenerational superstardom and recognizability of the previous popstars. That’s it. yes language might have been the barrier, but it is what it is. Shakira is one that example where she truly blew up worldwide when she released English music, but you still can’t compare her level of household name familiarity to someone like BTS’s. anyway Not Miss Strawberry also crossing 7M after Sakura did it

The rumored Shakira X Kpop GG collab is gonna be the global crossover smash that ends all discussions

Spanish I thinks is talked for 800M people Shakira, Ricky Martin, Luis Miguel all had huge hits bigger than kpop artist and since decades ago 1

That’s it. This is all relative, here in my country (Venezuela) most people know or have heard the word "BTS", I use a Seulgi picture for my phone's screen and a girl asked if that was Jennie so, even just by name the words "BP" "Jennie" etc are known. You can't expect them to be on the same level as other superstars many people get turned off by the music simply because of the language, music sung in english has it easier, it's like asking Bad Bunny to be well known in any random country when the reality is that his songs can't even be translated lol his spanish is offensively terrible and badly spoken lol.

Like, no one considers Wonyoung the 3.5 or 4th gen it girl. And it feels weird to put them in the same generation as I.O.I and GOT7.

Adama Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 2 hours ago, Hazy said: but I would agree that the superstar era ended long ago - maybe we can give that title to The Weeknd, Ariana, Taylor, Selena, maybe Billie - I would say that most people would know who they are without listening to their music and they have that crossover appeal The Selena sneak . Also Taylor is not that well know in Europe outside the UK. Or things changed? She’s still a flop in France compared to others pop stars. 1 hour ago, fauxtography said: The general public will never be down with "RATATA" and "BADABING BADABOOM" songs. The gp doesn’t care about lyrics. Especially when the biggest Kpop hit worlwide was OPPA GAGNAM STYLE, or with worldwide smash like WHATCH ME WIP,OR WATCH ME NAE NAE, WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY, Everyday I’m SHUFFLING, or Crazy frog era 1 hour ago, Bonjourtristesse said: The rumored Shakira X Kpop GG collab is gonna be the global crossover smash that ends all discussions Shakira BP or Shakira LSRFM are the only good options.
