Need to do a bit of research for my A level media coursework looking at music branding so I thought I'd ask you guys as a lot of you listen to a lot of music! If you were looking at new and emerging artists, would you generally say that artists that are British as opposed to American would get an advantage before you'd even listened to their stuff. I've found that generally a lot of British artists are topping the charts at the moment compared to the amount of American artists (with the exception of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry) and I think it might be something to do with the fact that people feel more inclined to support an artist from their own country in the same way that a lot of people prefer to buy British groceries if they can. Opinions?
