Is it me या why country संगीत only appeal US and Canada and regular संगीत and not लोकप्रिय music? Why country संगीत worldwide release only appeal pop संगीत release द्वारा country artists like Florida Georgia Line pop संगीत and crossover like Lady Antebellum’s Need आप Now? That’s all people listening to country संगीत worldwide does these days. Pop संगीत released द्वारा country stars like Leann Rymes pop संगीत and crossover like The Band Perry’s If I Die Young.

Not only that, लोकप्रिय संगीत does not appeal country संगीत like Miranda Lambert and आप have to use other लोकप्रिय संगीत like pop संगीत to use people listening to लोकप्रिय music.

Worse, लोकप्रिय संगीत like Vevo and general public like एमटीवी don’t seem to care about country संगीत like Brad पैस्ले these days.

It appears that country संगीत did not survive the लोकप्रिय संगीत curse and आप have to use regular संगीत like video game संगीत to hear country संगीत 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 संगीत comes from being from its origin. आप have to use mainstream संगीत like Taylor तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट to listen to लोकप्रिय music.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, she is not country nor crossover. She is pop because Taylor तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट only appeal pop. Her संगीत does not appeal country like Picture To Burn. आप have to use computer and albums to hear country संगीत द्वारा her like Ours. Not only that, country संगीत don’t care about Taylor तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट like Red and आप have to use Taylor Swift-less country संगीत to hear country like Little Big Town. Why can’t Taylor तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट use her crossover country act anymore? I guess people listening to Taylor तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट only appeal pop like प्यार Story and not country like Mean. In addition, Taylor Swift's country संगीत are not mainstream country. Her country संगीत are pop music. आप have to use pop संगीत to hear her pop country. That's why country Taylor तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट are pop music, not country music. I guess Taylor तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट only appeal pop and not going द्वारा different genres like country.

Worse, country संगीत 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 तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट (and only since the Red era) and before her आप 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 आप showed 100 बिना सोचे समझे Brits a pic of George Strait, आप probably would be lucky to have 1 person name him correctly.

There are some UK Country संगीत singers but can anyone name any without looking them up? Exactly.

The only real markets for Country संगीत 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 तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट because of the immense international interest they have generated for Country Music. I only know about Country संगीत 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 संगीत 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 संगीत on the internet don’t care about country संगीत and they only listen to mainstream संगीत like rock and regular संगीत like video game music. The only way is inventions. Country संगीत is suppose to be लोकप्रिय संगीत because country are लोकप्रिय music, but it's the ''Made in the US'' label that turns off the GP in युरोप and लोकप्रिय संगीत quickly prefer mainstream संगीत as their लोकप्रिय संगीत course like R&B and rap.

It's true that country संगीत 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 चोटी, शीर्ष 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 अवीचि song या 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 संगीत कार्यक्रम in लंडन but those attending will be प्रशंसकों 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 टमटम in a record store! I could have seen her from 1 foot away but I was busy!

The internet makes it easier for international प्रशंसकों to follow US Country संगीत Scene such that the above concerts can happen in लंडन occasionally but when will Carrie या Miranda या 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 संगीत 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 लोकप्रिय 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 संगीत to be और successful in the UK, but at the moment Country acts still struggle to break into the market. गाना about tractors and catfish dinners is not gonna change that either. Thus internet does not break country संगीत into the mainstream and आप 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 संगीत and लोकप्रिय संगीत only appeals country music-less लोकप्रिय संगीत like hip-hop.

So I think it has to do with country संगीत being rooted in Nashville, where other acts have multiple worldwide connections, country संगीत artists are almost exclusive to labels in Tennessee. It’s a और local industry, so its artists are generally और local.

And I can't at people on a pop संगीत मंच (stanning for the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Lady Gaga etc...) calling country संगीत trash when country संगीत प्रशंसकों 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 संगीत like Justin Timberlake over country संगीत like Kelsey Ballerini.

That’s why country संगीत only appeals country tastes like CMT and not लोकप्रिय संगीत tastes like Vevo because country संगीत is about telling a story, the essence of the songs are the lyrics. While pop प्रशंसकों only concentrate on the hooks, they probably think country संगीत 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 येशु and all the other countries where येशु is da man are too poor to buy music/something to listen to संगीत with, country singers are generally talented (writing, playing, singing) and the GP is और interested in booties and they sing with a twang and nobody understands that outside of Georgia and Alabama. That’s why people listen to संगीत only appeal America populars like people twerking and young fads like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. People listen to लोकप्रिय संगीत don’t seem to care about country संगीत like Hunter Hayes या good pop संगीत like Spice Girls and Avril Lavigne.

But seriously, they talk about the same things hip hop artists talk about. Only hip hop artists get और criticism. But hip hop is और 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 संगीत 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 संगीत are not mainstream music. Mainstream संगीत is country music-less लोकप्रिय संगीत 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 पूर्व during a speak activity about संगीत in my English class, I कहा that country is very लोकप्रिय 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 पूर्व and I really प्यार Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, Kacey Musgraves या Dixie Chicks. I really don't get why people WW don't listen to country because संगीत at least द्वारा those artists I mentioned is miles better than 99% of current "pop" music.

As I कहा I think that the main problem are prejudices, most people associate country with cowboys, cows, pistols and silly songs about blue mountains' tops where आप ride on your horse या something.

The other thing can be that most (or all?) country artists don't bother to promote outside their सुरक्षित 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 जापान and तारा, स्टार Wars respectively, not America like US. Worldwide does not appeal America like country music. America-less places like युरोप and America repeats like America फिल्में are और लोकप्रिय than America like country संगीत 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 युरोप and honestly, people in युरोप had never heard of Garth before one person became और 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 तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट 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 और common/popular in the US that people in other countries wouldn't find relatable या appreciate. Need आप 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 या wherever.

Country is the US's regional music. So it doesn't पार करना, क्रॉस over to other countries just like their regional संगीत doesn't पार करना, क्रॉस over WW because other countries like जापान don't relate to गाना about trailers, cowboys and the like, and unfortunately a lot of country संगीत 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 तत्पर, तेज, स्विफ्ट is doing. Red the song is such a bop. Our Song is an anthem. And आप 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 द्वारा 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 या rock sometimes. For example, Need आप 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 संगीत at all despite country संगीत वीडियो exist on YouTube. I didn't realize how much I प्यार country संगीत until recently and how much I connect to it. My answer is that country संगीत can be stereotypical, but every genre is, but when आप cut through the stupid artists of country, आप realize how great it is.

Let’s face it, लोकप्रिय संगीत hates country music. Plain and simple. Country संगीत doesn’t use लोकप्रिय संगीत like electric गिटार which country संगीत does and only use regular संगीत like twang despite country संगीत are not regular music. So why US hates country संगीत and US only wants other लोकप्रिय संगीत like pop संगीत and Beyonce? Why US does not play country संगीत and the only way is country stations like CMT?

What are your thoughts on country संगीत struggle in the लोकप्रिय संगीत industry?
