Between Kpop and Afrobeats, Which of these two genre is more mainstream in the west (and why?). Personal I think it’s Afrobeats, but I could be wrong.
Kpop vs Afrobeats
-
I listen to Afrobeats but I don't keep up with how well it is doing commercially. I know artists from my country like Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido are doing well. Burna boy even won a grammy and others have been nominated (that is probably something kpop doesn't have). I am not sure how Afrobeats is doing on Billboard, Youtube, and Spotify

Afrobeats is just like kpop. If you take out the outliers, the rest of the genre aren’t doing so well in the west.

But don’t they have a wider audience? Like it’s crazy wild in the UK especially during the summer.

Have you heard the latest trending song? From black sherif #1 Shazam song this week, I heard it when Chelsea lost to Madrid, it was the funniest thing I saw this week.

In the US, it feels like Kpop is a little larger. Stylistic elements of Afrobeats are popular here to be used in songs (i.e. Doja Cat), but artists themselves, not so much. At least in California, Kpop is a much larger and more recognized sub genre (still not mainstream, mind you). None of those hold a candle to Latin sub-genres tho.

Kpop already got it’s big song as far back as 2012 with Gangnam style. Afro beats is yet to have that. Their closest to Gangnam style so far is Nwantiti so I say that with this, kpop edges out.
