Whenever something seems completely out of place, the answer is probably “India”. India’s influence on these kinds of statistics will only grow in the next few years.

I remember that I used to go to YouTube and check out the top 100 songs worldwide every now and then, because it wasn’t as flooded with rap and hip-hop as the US list. Nowadays, it’s like 50% Indian music and the rest is English, Spanish and South Korean.

It’s an interesting development, since that huge market obviously has lots of potential and could at some point significantly influence the services we’ve always seen as being mainly Western-centric.

I guess if China had complete free access to wiki it would also be very different.
