Rock music fans and bands have had an incredibly challenging time for the 2020\/2021 period due to most rock concerts being canceled. You might say all music fans have suffered, and there is no disputing that; however, rock music fans are different. They are set apart almost by their devotion to the rock genre worldwide, so where is rock music most popular?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rock music is most popular in Mexico, with 51 percent of the population listen to rock daily. Mexican rock fans listen to 26 hours of rock per week. The USA is second, with 47% of the people listening to rock every day. Brazil is third, with at least 45% of the population listening to rock daily.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Interestingly, you would presume that the USA would be in number one given the population and rock’s cradle, but the USA listens to more R&B and pop music than any other genre. Most of Europe has been influenced by American rock music. That indeed showed when the Beatles came onto the scene. Let’s explore in which countries rock is most popular in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The average music fan listens to 18 hours of music per week which sounds like a lot, but in these countries where rock is almost like a religion, 18 hours per week seems amateurish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Serious fans will spend on average 26 hours or more listening to rock music. That is beside the time spent watching music videos or going to live concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mexican rock fans listen to 26.5 hours of rock music either by streaming or tuned into their favorite rock radio station. Over 60% of the population in Mexico consider themselves to be music fanatics and prefer to listen to rock more than other genres of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mexico has many different music styles, and they listen to their local rock bands as much as they listen to the foreign masters of rock. Approximately 95% of the Mexican population who listen to music use their smartphones or iPhones to stream from various platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rock music is enjoyed while traveling to and from work, having lunch, at the gym, social, and cooking meals. At least 55% access their favorite rock music on social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At least 57 percent of Americans love and listen to rock music. After all, rock has its origins and roots firmly planted in the USA. However, the stats show that the average American listens to only 4 hours of music per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The US music market is enormous, with billions of dollars spent yearly on record sales, live concerts, and online purchases. Some of the largest rock concerts in the world are held in the US, and the population supports local talent with unwavering loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brazil has the population to support their local talent as furiously as they support a Lollapalooza festival with a foreign rock band. At least 48.8% of the population listens to rock regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brazil is filled with music of all genres, and although rock music is not as famous as in the 1980’s it still has a massive fanbase.
