It explains that while many countries today are open to international music or international hits, but they were successful in the countries at different times. It mentions how France made a big leap to be open to international hits and that in about five years later Italy was then open to international hits (Verboord and Brandellero 2016). This goes to show that the success of a song or music genre depends if the country itself is open to having international being influenced in their country. There is a analysis that best describes how these charts are successful in some countries and not in others. The analysis is, “The descriptive analyses of trends in …show more content…
