What's Going To Be The Next Gangnam Style?

Not a huge article here but more of a personal thought.  And what a better place to do it then to have you all sit down and potentially read this (haha).  It just dawned on me that with the short (but big commercial) success of PSY into Western culture, it will be interesting who the next big star from a foreign country will be, or who we push to be the next.



With no real factual information, data or marketing stats, but given the current trend and the easiness it is to transition for guest to main I personally have money set on his dancing partner HYUNA, who has been on the scene since 2007 with Wonder Girls, 4Minute and Trouble Maker.  The songs that she creates may not necessarily resonate the same way we reacted to Gangnam Style, but that won't stop producers and industry honchos from pushing it down your throats.



The 20 year old has already had quite the career in Korea and has now been announced as the poster child for Guess clothing's new line "G".  She has also been listed by SPIN Magazine as top 20 songs of 2011  with her hit "Bubble Pop" (40,000,000+ hits on YouTube).  What SPIN had for comparison is beyond me.

Not diving too much into pop culture because there are plenty of 'infotainment' places like MTV, Billboard and others to tickle that fancy, plus there were too many things to ponder/laugh/question.  What was with the American sports jerseys?  Dance moves, yes.  Vocal range, ummmm?  Lyrical content?  Well, can't be any worse than what we already deal with in North America (coughyousastupidhoecoughbabybabybabyohhcough)

Anywho, the prediction is in place.  Let's see pop culture take its toll.
