So is this gonna just be English / Popular Western English music or is there a variety?

More or less.

It's 85% UK or US and 15% other.

I think i read that the introduction in the book mentions this aswell; that it's western
music mainly. I'm fine with that, whenever i get a non western album it's a nice little rabbit hole though and i usually find other artist to listen to through that way.

I would say 80-90% western. I had this album last week that is a Pakistani devotional music album

Great artist and a great catalog to explore.

What a wild thing to say. I understand where you’re coming from but pop music, the popular song, song form, and recorded music is inherently western. Sure it grew throughout the later half of the 20th century but to think that ANY list of pop music won’t be predominantly western is willfully ignorant.
