blasphemy.
When we say music, do say "modern music" ? Because music didn't begin after WWII brehs. If we talking music from every times, the USA is not a main factor at all because its influence really started with the westernization of the world.
Anyway, if we're talking about contemporary music, I'd say, relatively to the population :
1. Jamaica
2. UK
3. USA
The UK is so influential, it's ridiculous how underestimated they are : trip-hop, dubstep, dnb, jungle, pop, punk rock, ska all came from here or was greatly influenced by the UK. And it's all because of the massive immigration from Jamaica in the 60s, so that's why JA >>>>>

oh yeah... relative to population its easily Jamaica. The fact that a country of < 3 mill has had such an effect on popular music is pretty fukking astonishing.
man listen....keep posting articles and clips. im interested in getting into the history of Jamaican and black diaspora music period
we often chastise ourselfs for overemphasis on musical entertainment...saying theirs "no money" it in.... shyt
thats one of the global genres that black people hold a LEGITIMATE GLOBAL MONOPOLY....at least in its conception and creation...ATLEAST
all kinds of crazy miniscule shyt is copy written.....so jus imagine we own the shyt we produced that was bitten...owned the drum patterns...the syhnths that were created..the rhythms...the concepts...etc.....im no musical cat...so yall can take it further...that money would be ridiculous... that shyt would be a black global conglomerate, straight down
it aint what you do, its what you own & enforce..if we took our creativity to other realms just to be position holders in someone elses shyt, itll be the same story in a different game...but if we held legit and majority stock it in it (music), that shyt (music) would be a black global conglomerate, straight down

Its fascinating to think that thousands of years of European musical development is less pivotal then a movement that grew out of field chants

People keep mentioning Jamaica's low population. If population had anything to do with it than Nigeria would be the most influential. Jamaican success owes a great deal to the success of black american music on a global scale

Well population has to have something to do with it. I feel you though
