Zoey Chase and Robert Smith had two different
podcast within a several days of each other. The first talked about a hit Korean pop song, “Gangnam Style”, and the now
world famous singer Psy. The second podcast is about Katy Perry’s success last
year and how it didn't really translate to her making the money that most
people would assume she would.
Korea
has been waiting for this moment for a long time where a pop song of theirs makes
noise all around the world. America has been known forever as a huge export of
pop music because no matter where you go in the world most likely you will hear
American pop music being played. This is the first time that a Korean pop music
song has been competing as a top pop song across the world. Psy’s song “Gangnam
Style” is a huge step for Korea in becoming a name in pop music. They are going
to look to continue the progress they had made so far in music to continue to
dish out hits to the world. They use YouTube as a way to get their music viral
to everyone and once one person watches it and likes it, they then share that
song to all of their friends and then this goes on and on. I personally think
that it is good thing for Korea to have put out their first successful song.
Not only will people in Korea be happy but if this continues but people in
America will be happy to listen to international music more if they continue to
pour out hits.
Katy
Perry had huge success last year and was one of the most popular artist of the
year but does her success actually mean she made a lot of money. Most people
would think so but for the most fact Katy Perry didn't even break even. Katy
Perry sold 2 million albums and 24 million songs downloaded on iTunes but all of
her overhead cost and everything else that needed to be paid made this happen.
Even five of her songs were eon top of the charts last year and she had a movie
about her life. I personally think that the music industry is going downhill
with all of the illegal downloading of music and such. There is no way people
will continue to buy music if there is a free way it can be obtained. It is
going to kill these popular artists because they won’t get nearly half of the
money they would have if there was no way to illegally download music.
