| CDs in the Music Collection |
The Music Collection has Korean popular music (K-Pop) in addition to popular music from around the world. K-Pop is of recent interest because the video of "Gangnam Style" by PSY went viral. Even before that, K-Pop had been increasingly popular in Asia and gaining a foothold in the United States especially with young audiences. Billboard Magazine recently added K-Pop to its online series of popular music charts, the only style from outside of the Western Hemisphere (Latin American music has been a staple for years) to be tracked by the music media giant.
To search for Korean popular music, go to the Media Finder for non-Classical Music. You can search for the style (rock, rap, etc.) and then select Korea as the country:
You can also search for an artist or band by using CardCat and searching for him/her/them as an "author."
