Posted June 6, 201114 yr I was watching this video and was amazed by how UTTERLY DOMINATING boy band and girl band are in South Korea 2010 year-end MUSIC CHART. gKmmBDKRK6g Then I thought why they still do well in the UK when they basically dead in America.
June 6, 201114 yr They don't do really well. Boybands tend to do better because of obsessed and crazed teenage girls.
June 6, 201114 yr Both do as much in Korea, actually in Korea Girl Groups are more popular compared to male.
June 6, 201114 yr is south korea the country where they reduced the price of downloads dramatically and number one singles usually sell around 300,000?
June 6, 201114 yr Korean and J Pop are very good and are of a high standard. Shame both countries can't enter ESC :(
June 6, 201114 yr Boybands have never really been a big thing in America unlike the UK. There was only ever the Backsteet Boys that cracked the American market.
June 6, 201114 yr Boybands have never really been a big thing in America unlike the UK. There was only ever the Backsteet Boys that cracked the American market. New Kids on the Block had 4 #1s in America, and 'N Sync have the fastest-selling album of all-time in the US. You're right boybands have never been big in America though, apart from a period in the late 1990s/early 2000s with the teeny bopper phase. Although plenty of R&B boybands have done very well there - Jodeci, Silk, Boyz II Men, etc. Some would call these "vocal groups" though or something.
June 6, 201114 yr Boybands have never really been a big thing in America unlike the UK. There was only ever the Backsteet Boys that cracked the American market. Well, Five got a top-10 single (When the Lights Go Out) and a top-30 album there! Given that they're Brits, not Americans, I think it's an achievement.

That video is AMAZING :o So many great tracks! Korean and J Pop are very good and are of a high standard. Shame both countries can't enter ESC :( Agreed, they were planning Asiavision for last year but it got cancelled :( Anyway there will be boybands as long as there are teenage girls. But girlbands are almost dead, there isn't the market for them anymore.
