Pop music has been dominated by the American and (from the mid-1960s) British [[music industry|music industries]], whose influence has made pop music something of an international monoculture, but most regions and countries have their own form of pop music, sometimes producing local versions of wider trends, and lending them local characteristics.<ref>J.

According to ''[[Grove Music Online]]'', "Western-derived pop styles, whether coexisting with or marginalizing distinctively local genres, have spread throughout the world and have come to constitute stylistic common denominators in global commercial music cultures".<ref name=PManuel>P. Manuel, "Pop. Non-Western cultures 1. Global dissemination", ''Grove Music Online'', retrieved 14 March 2010.</ref> Some non-Western countries, such as Japan, have developed a thriving pop music industry, most of which is devoted to Western-style pop. Japan has for several years produced a greater quantity of music than everywhere except the US.{{Clarify|reason=vague|date=April 2017}}<ref name=PManuel/> The spread of Western-style pop music has been interpreted variously as representing processes of Americanization, [[Radio Homogenization|homogenization]], modernization, creative appropriation, [[cultural imperialism]], or a more general process of [[globalization]].<ref name=PManuel/>
