★ 1st place goes to Taylor Swift “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”. According to Luminate, Taylor's share of the total US music market in 2023 will be 1.7%. One of the 78 songs streamed in the U.S. last year was by Taylor. As one of America's leading singers, she enjoys national popularity.
2nd place goes to Stray Kids' ``★★★★★ (5-STAR)''. The album reached number one on the US Billboard 200 album chart. The initial sale in the US was 249,500 copies.

It's too biased and doesn't really sit well with me. No, I won't come any more. No, he won't come at all.


Did the above-mentioned event (reality) really occur in CD sales in the American market in 2023?
Various comments are flying around as if such a fact exists, but if you think about it normally, isn't it very suspicious?
It's so suspicious that I almost burst out laughing.


Even though we are talking about the American music market that is exclusive to our country, the only American singer that appears in the top ten ranking is Taylor Swift, and the rest are lined up with Korean (K-POP) singers. No singers from other countries appear.


America is the capital of entertainment music. People in more than a hundred countries now pick up and listen to music originating from America. Naturally, there must be many singers and countries promoting their music to these countries.


Some people say that K-Pop isn't popular in America, so I wonder what that means. Unless it's the national trait of scrapping the CDs immediately after buying them, the CDs you bought are probably being played and listened to somewhere in America...


Even if CD sales are only a few percent, the US market is huge, and a single disc has many times the sales value of streaming, so it can't be underestimated as a business.
CDs may be the perfect way to get together in a plaza and do a flash mob.
　

Whether you enter through the back gate instead of the front gate or advance beyond the hedge, you will either succeed or fail.
After reading this article, I feel like I was reminded once again of how K-POP has penetrated the American music market.
