Is it me ou why country musique only appeal US and Canada and regular musique and not populaire music? Why country musique worldwide release only appeal pop musique release par country artists like Florida Georgia Line pop musique and crossover like Lady Antebellum’s Need toi Now? That’s all people listening to country musique worldwide does these days. Pop musique released par country stars like Leann Rymes pop musique and crossover like The Band Perry’s If I Die Young.
Not only that, populaire musique does not appeal country musique like Miranda Lambert and toi have to use other populaire musique like pop musique to use people listening to populaire music.
Worse, populaire musique like Vevo and general public like MTV don’t seem to care about country musique like Brad motif cachemire, paisley these days.
It appears that country musique did not survive the populaire musique curse and toi have to use regular musique like video game musique to hear country musique like Tim McGraw.
Not only that, it originated only in US and hasn’t travelled worldwide whereas other genres like rock, pop already have as lot of the appeal of country musique comes from being from its origin. toi have to use mainstream musique like Taylor rapide, swift to listen to populaire music.
Speaking of Taylor Swift, she is not country nor crossover. She is pop because Taylor rapide, swift only appeal pop. Her musique does not appeal country like Picture To Burn. toi have to use computer and albums to hear country musique par her like Ours. Not only that, country musique don’t care about Taylor rapide, swift like Red and toi have to use Taylor Swift-less country musique to hear country like Little Big Town. Why can’t Taylor rapide, swift use her crossover country act anymore? I guess people listening to Taylor rapide, swift only appeal pop like l’amour Story and not country like Mean. In addition, Taylor Swift's country musique are not mainstream country. Her country musique are pop music. toi have to use pop musique to hear her pop country. That's why country Taylor rapide, swift are pop music, not country music. I guess Taylor rapide, swift only appeal pop and not going par different genres like country.
Worse, country musique is not even on the radar really in the UK. I am not sure why, just a quirk of history. In the UK people have only really heard of Taylor rapide, swift (and only since the Red era) and before her toi have to really go back to Shania Twain and Garth Brooks for name recognition. Older Brits will know about Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash but most Country Stars can walk around unrecognised in the UK. Reba who? Tim who? George who? If toi showed 100 aléatoire Brits a pic of George Strait, toi probably would be lucky to have 1 person name him correctly.
There are some UK Country musique singers but can anyone name any without looking them up? Exactly.
The only real markets for Country musique are USA and Canada and not other markets like Australia and Brazil (despite to a much lesser degree Australia and Brazil has a small scene too respectively).
The CMA is always trying to expand into new markets. That is why they give Pinnacle Awards to Garth Brooks and Taylor rapide, swift because of the immense international interest they have generated for Country Music. I only know about Country musique in detail because of Taylor. Lots of other Country Artists have benefited from my coin due to her getting me interested in watching the CMAs, ACMs, CMT awards etc. Taylor was always very articulate and passionate about Country musique in the UK and helped dispel the bad image it has in the UK of being for bigoted and unsophisticated hicks. She was a great ambassador for it. Nashville owes her a lot. Sadly, internet does not help either because people listening to musique on the internet don’t care about country musique and they only listen to mainstream musique like rock and regular musique like video game music. The only way is inventions. Country musique is suppose to be populaire musique because country are populaire music, but it's the ''Made in the US'' label that turns off the GP in Europe and populaire musique quickly prefer mainstream musique as their populaire musique course like R&B and rap.
It's true that country musique is irrelevant here but there are a couple that have small loyal fanbases. Carrie Underwood managed to sell out the royal Albert hall in apparently 90mins and Lady Antebellum have 3 haut, retour au début 10 albums (1 which is platinum and 1 that is gold) and Dolly Parton is also doing well right now but besides a few examples it really isn't on many people's radars unless it's used in like an Avicii song ou it's Taylor Swift.
I know that Carrie Underwood has had a few concerts here plus that Country 2 Country Festival. The Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful and important venue but in reality it has a small capacity of about 5k. It is hardly Wembley Stadium. The Country 2 Country Festival relied on several major US Country stars to fill the 02 Centre which sound impressive but 20k people out of 10million Londoners is not earthshattering. And it hardly got any UK media attention.
Major US Country acts can come and do a concert in Londres but those attending will be fans because of what they have achieved in the US rather than in the UK, if that makes sense. Kacey Musgraves was here and she did a cabriolet, gig in a record store! I could have seen her from 1 foot away but I was busy!
The internet makes it easier for international fans to follow US Country musique Scene such that the above concerts can happen in Londres occasionally but when will Carrie ou Miranda ou Luke actually have a hit in the UK. Blown Away was Carrie Underwood's most successful UK hit but it peaked at 155! There are no Country musique radio stations in the UK AFAIK so it is difficult even with big names like George Strait.
A lot of current Country Artists actually sound very close to Rock, so Brad Paisley, FGL, Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Keith Urban could actually get some traction here because Rock is populaire here. Carrie has some songs that sound like soft rock too, reminds me of Belinda Carlisle who was successful in the UK. So it is possible.
I would like Country musique to be plus successful in the UK, but at the moment Country acts still struggle to break into the market. chant about tractors and catfish dinners is not gonna change that either. Thus internet does not break country musique into the mainstream and toi have to use US/Canada and country tastes like Nashville and CMT to play country like Reba McEntire. So yeah, internet screwed country because internet don’t seem to care about country musique and populaire musique only appeals country music-less populaire musique like hip-hop.
So I think it has to do with country musique being rooted in Nashville, where other acts have multiple worldwide connections, country musique artists are almost exclusive to labels in Tennessee. It’s a plus local industry, so its artists are generally plus local.
And I can't at people on a pop musique forum (stanning for the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Lady Gaga etc...) calling country musique trash when country musique fans think the same thing about our faves. Lol. But even with country music’s lyrics are far superior to pop music’s lyrics, people prefers pop musique like Justin Timberlake over country musique like Kelsey Ballerini.
That’s why country musique only appeals country tastes like CMT and not populaire musique tastes like Vevo because country musique is about telling a story, the essence of the songs are the lyrics. While pop fans only concentrate on the hooks, they probably think country musique is boring.
Not only that, because they sing a lot about trucks and people dont use trucks outside of NA, they sing a lot about Jésus and all the other countries where Jésus is da man are too poor to buy music/something to listen to musique with, country singers are generally talented (writing, playing, singing) and the GP is plus interested in booties and they sing with a twang and nobody understands that outside of Georgia and Alabama. That’s why people listen to musique only appeal America populars like people twerking and young fads like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. People listen to populaire musique don’t seem to care about country musique like Hunter Hayes ou good pop musique like Spice Girls and Avril Lavigne.
But seriously, they talk about the same things hip hop artists talk about. Only hip hop artists get plus criticism. But hip hop is plus global thankfully. Don't be too mad. They don't use R&B much outside the USA either despite R&B is mainstream unlike country.
Casual listener perceives country musique as an essentially "American thing." And this is what keeps the rest of the world from receiving it with open arms. That’s why country musique are not mainstream music. Mainstream musique is country music-less populaire musique like rock and R&B.
I think there are tons of prejudices against country outside the US and it is regarded as an inferior genre. Few years il y a during a speak activity about musique in my English class, I a dit that country is very populaire in the US and a girl was like "you can't be serious, who on Earth would listen to it!". To be honest I discovered country just a short time il y a and I really l’amour Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, Kacey Musgraves ou Dixie Chicks. I really don't get why people WW don't listen to country because musique at least par those artists I mentioned is miles better than 99% of current "pop" music.
As I a dit I think that the main problem are prejudices, most people associate country with cowboys, cows, pistols and silly songs about blue mountains' tops where toi ride on your horse ou something.
The other thing can be that most (or all?) country artists don't bother to promote outside their sûr, sans danger zone (the US).
AFAIK it's only really used in the US, and Canada and not other countries like Ireland because worldwide only appeals America-less places and America repeats like Japon and étoile, star Wars respectively, not America like US. Worldwide does not appeal America like country music. America-less places like Europe and America repeats like America films are plus populaire than America like country musique because worldwide hates America like Canada and stick with America-less places like UK and America repeats like pop music. That's sad. Are the major stars like Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks unknowns to people outside those two countries?
Well there is a person from Central Europe and honestly, people in Europe had never heard of Garth before one person became plus interested in music. That person heard about Dolly but the person didn't have any idea that she was a singer and the person thought she was just a lady with big boobs.
Other country legends like Reba McEntire, Martina, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and also every current artist are completely unknown here. The only one who is semi-known is Taylor rapide, swift but only thanks to the Red era and songs like IKYWT and WANEGBT which aren't really country.
But I think it has something to do with the lyrics not being very relatable too and a lot of the songs namedrop US states and things that are plus common/popular in the US that people in other countries wouldn't find relatable ou appreciate. Need toi Now did ok here although it kinda had a pop sound with country elements but lyrics that a lot of people everywhere could relate to rather than just people in like Oklahoma ou wherever.
Country is the US's regional music. So it doesn't traverser, croix over to other countries just like their regional musique doesn't traverser, croix over WW because other countries like Japon don't relate to chant about trailers, cowboys and the like, and unfortunately a lot of country musique is cliche like that. It's the twang that sounds outdated and traditional and international people don't get the appeal of the twang.
I seriously like those country twangs if mixed with modern sounds, like what Taylor rapide, swift is doing. Red the song is such a bop. Our Song is an anthem. And toi Belong With Me is a smash.
What Shania Twain did is add some adult pop flavors to the usual country sound, and it worked. It didn't hurt that adult contemporary songs were a big deal during the 90s. And that's the sound she produced par mixing the country sound to pop songs.
So I have no idea and I thought of like R&B (too American) except R&B is kinda global. Maybe because they're centered and focused only in the US, like I don't know if they ever tried to promote themselves outside of their country.
But there are a few country songs that were global hits. But a lot of people label it as a pop-rock ou rock sometimes. For example, Need toi Now.
Well I live in the US and growing up, barely anyone I knew listened to it on a constant basis. Even internet like YouTube doesn’t know country musique at all despite country musique vidéos exist on YouTube. I didn't realize how much I l’amour country musique until recently and how much I connect to it. My answer is that country musique can be stereotypical, but every genre is, but when toi cut through the stupid artists of country, toi realize how great it is.
Let’s face it, populaire musique hates country music. Plain and simple. Country musique doesn’t use populaire musique like electric guitare which country musique does and only use regular musique like twang despite country musique are not regular music. So why US hates country musique and US only wants other populaire musique like pop musique and Beyonce? Why US does not play country musique and the only way is country stations like CMT?
What are your thoughts on country musique struggle in the populaire musique industry?
