This is all conspiracy, Billboard is an american magazine owned by a british company...
(All the Brexit is there to make Britain great again.)
I am sure if you don't read Billboard, you'll find out that China has more pop music song writers than any other country... You just never heard of it... (Maybe good so.) Anyway who wants to listen to boring pop music? That's music for the brain washed...

This is the same method MJ used when he was working on Anthony Marinelli's Thriller.

But there's nothing stopping the Chinese bands from writing songs in English. Oh wait, that may not be true, maybe their government is stopping them.

But isn't China becoming more open? If that's the case then maybe eventually a lot of Chinese bands would start writing songs in English?
Are most successful Chinese bands happy of being limited to being big only in China? In the beginning, ABBA wasn't happy with "Big only in Sweden"?

Sure, Chinese bands may not become as big as ABBA did worldwide, but ABBA is proof that English doesn't have to be your native tongue to be big worldwide?

The success of ABBA can't be 100 percent credited to the two lovely female singers. ABBA really did have catchy songs. And catchy "global mass appeal" song is not easy to "just be there"? If trashy pop song is that is easy to do, then just for fun or just for challenge, and maybe just to earn tons of cash (is that still possible in this internet age?), let's see you do it. Maybe you will find that it's a super-difficult task?

I think the desire to get out of poverty is stronger than "pop music is beneath me, I won't make pop music". Oooh, that's probably going to offend a lot of people but former ghetto people like Snoop Dogg and 50 cent and Eminem probably didn't/doesn't care if their music ended up being labelled as "music that makes money" or Billboard hits.

Are you people comfortably rich or something? Making money selling car insurance is better than making "music that makes money"? Okay, maybe Iggy Pop doesn't care because he did both because Iggy's albums are in some people's music collection and he did sell car insurance to survive?

What was the topic again, I tangentnated again I guess. But I just remembered I have to play speed scrabble now. Okay, bye.

ABBA sang in English. What's your point there again? Yes, sometimes it was peculiar english, mixing person.

Did you ever hear of Missing Persons? They had a song called Words.

You'd think looking like this they'd be British

Damn, we're BOTH right!

'Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s. The Bee Gees, English-Australian pop-rock band that embodied the disco era of the late 1970s. ... After emigrating to Australia with their parents, the Gibb brothers returned to England in the mid-1960s to further their singing careers.'

I declare a mistrial. Apologies everyone! We'll have to start this thread over again on Monday. :(
