Will the UK ever love foreign-language pop?

In 2017, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s huge No 1 summer hit Despacito seemed to herald a new age where the domination of the English language in western pop was eroding.

Doubtful. Given how little they care in general for other languages.

Are you seriously thinking the Brexit voting bunch of xenophobes could tolerate anything in another language? They are far too lazy to even try to learn other languages. They are the centre of the universe after all.... *Sigh*

nope

Ça plane pour moi is a bit of a classic!

Your articles are shyte

When you say 'foreign', you mean non-English

Only if the brits decide to stop making the best music in the world.

You guys are missing out

No.

Dear Guardian, in light of your recent articles, define Foreign in this context?

Your telling us that today’s pop is sung in English?

Only if it’s sexy French and a bit naughty.

No, partly because the media actively works to other foreign artists for clickbait

This is a weird question. They already have and presently do. It will never sell as well though if that is what you are really asking.

‘‘Tis a fine barn, but sure tis no pool, English.”

I quite like Afro French rap. No idea what they’re saying, but it sounds cool. Especially if one is in the sun

Nein

Don't they love American pop already?

I don´t think so, as most are utter nationalists+won´t try to learn a foreign language

No we are too racist.

No.

You mean not everyone appreciates SHINee What is wrong with people?

Pop music is generally very lyrics focused. If you don't understand the lyrics, pop music can lose some - or slot - of its impact. It's not xenophobia or anything, just a literal language barrier.

Probably not! Much of foreugn language pop, i would imagine, Is prose. UK, much like ours is rhyme based.

英語是殖民的武器。 說英語的人是壓迫者。 必須禁止英語。

Why the fuck would i want to listen to something i can’t understand?

nikinsammy what do you think?

Have you not heard of BTS?

No

Anime is a gateway to Jpop

%100 original Turkish Song and the best ever for me.

I think you’ll find The Proclaimers are well regarded in some circles.

lindisfarne and gazza

Si, amo la musica latinoamericana

I watch European TV and movies but the music isn’t for me. European dance music is fine but pop just isn’t for me.

Quite a few like crap. (rap)

UK doesn’t even like foreign-language NHS doctors.
