Date: 2013-01-31 08:15 am (UTC)Youtube have changed the information available on who watches what a bit in the past year. For 'Gee' the "most important" places, whatever that means, are Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The important groups are women 11-17 years old, women 18-24 and men 18-24.
Here's a new opinion piece on the state of the Japanese industry http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2013/01/31/music/diamond-cries-murder-on-the-dancefloor/#.UQn3nb8z0ud
I've been meaning to actually research this but so far haven't: I have a theory that no matter how popular a foreign song gets it will struggle to get to #1 because it's not available through as many channels as the Korean songs. For example I go to Melon and Taylor Swift's Red and see messages about the limited ways it's available to get, apparently only through download, and previews are limited.
Since I'm not a user at any Korean music portal I'm a bit clueless. But my theory is that in general Taylor Swift's music is more expensive to buy and less available on subscription services, thus less likely to get as high numbers on the charts as a Korean label's release.
Whether the changes to online pricing we've discussed affects this.. well I should probably get the facts straight before I speculate.
