Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to the music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about
sports, the weather and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.
Pop music singers make much money. They make CDs or tapes which radio stations in many places broadcast. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a pop star.
There are other kinds of music that are popular among Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of America. Another is called western or country music.
