bit delusional that. which countries have you been to to see that breh? there's a reason sinners was hardly released outside of the US. HINT: not because it's too cool for them.
i'm not FBA and I'm not american and I don't do that.
and (for example) when I traveled across eastern europe most of the countries have little discernible trace of western culture/music and they don't want it. they think their own stuff is cool. bulgaria (sofia) had some US themed jazz bars.
i got sick to death of the europop crap in romania discos. shyt almost drove me mad.
other massive zones like india have little to none. the caribbean has its own culture, headed by jamaica and trinidad. most of those latino places are focused on their own music and styles.
maybe you mean some parts of western europe and western africa. if so, i agree. but even there is tends to be people from certain parts of society. saying the even the UK has it's own style of pop and rap.
this is the coolest band in history and their main influences are caribbean and african.
show me anything of this size in brazil for US r&b/rap.
ANYTHING ..
or romania

Flabbyheads are mistaking her for Tyler the Creator and buying his music for their kids instead 
but unlike being the unlucky recipient of a Gamestation 5 from Chinatown, this new gen is

I respectfully do not believe this disproves my point. When you’re trying to reach a certain level of stardom, how you’re perceived in the US influences the rest of the world. I even said that in the post you didn’t fully quote, she’ll still be successful but not at the level her label aspired to be.
Fanservice
Bih call me senpai
Nah but they both were getting co-signs and red carpet appearances before dropping their major label debut.
The visibility and manufactured hype is there. Her EP should have sold at least 15k-20k

This ship has sailed my bro it’s not the 90’s anymore
But by the same token it look like the labels wanted a new Rhianna but it’s not the 00’s anymore
A south african making nigerian music for an American audience is wild work

This is the illusion my bro,
The US is the biggest english speaking music market. Labels want to market their acts to sell in America, not the rest of the world. If the labels want to push an artiste internationally they put money behind them.
Nobody is going out of their to find out what Americans think is cool.

Cap. Just off using soul to soul Your proving disingenuous as fukk or maybe it's your naive ignorance...Soul to soul of all people though
that's laughable especially when their biggest songs are black American rnb over HIP HOP BREAK BEATS
. why lie and say just anything
I've been around the world and people have their own culture yet everywhere black American influence from fashion to everything is vultured in some form. EVERYWHERE. You probably typed this post with a pair of J's on

analogous:
in films these days china helps films become global hits by virtue of their spending power but the masses do not care about chinese opinion on films. they just see that it's a big film, so go and watch it. or because of the chinese market the budget could include better FX. totally divorced from the fact that chinese opinions helped make it massive / give it a bigger budget. america plays a similar financial role.
there is no need to argue. just show me the proof.
just show me the concerts of the size that i showed you in those countries with R&B.
nope. money does. when you have star level money you gain influence as someone famous. not as a proxy of america or with acclaim in america being a precondition.
the entire football (soccer) industry is instructive here. no one cares what america thinks about soccer. yet there are global stars who are amongst the biggest on earth. ronaldo, messi, beckham, pele, maradona etc etc. these then are introduced to america (no help from america reqd).
point being that america's influence is not cultural domination but rather (with some types of fame) financial domination which helps the stars make their leg up.
likewise in the opposite direction large swathes of american music are of no interest to large parts of the world. and then looking at genres its even worse, ,country music for example.
point being india, brazil, china etc all have their own big stars .. they are just not as rich and/or as pushed in the anglo world.

learn to read. I went back and even added in "main" because i knew TLR does not read and does not do details.
soul II soul are the funky dreds who formed at the africa centre Africa Centre, London - Wikipedia in london.
no need to argue. just show me the concerts in places like india, romania etc of that R&B size.
i will take an L if you can do that.
otherwise
