Recent hit songs have suggested a new model for success in today's industry.
Psy's "Gentleman" has brought male and female, young and old to their computer screens. Jo Yong Pil's "Bounce" succeeded in reaching out to both his fans from the 70s and 80s as well as the young people today. Roy Kim's "Spring, Spring, Spring" is a country song that seeks to unite listeners of all ages.
"Gentleman" was surprisingly popular among demographics outside of its target audience, which are the young in their 20s and 30s. According to collected data, about half of the total YouTube hits have come from mid-30s and older. The previous success of "Gangnam Style" has much to do with the unusual phenomenon, analysts say.
