Popular music, as an important component of popular culture, is closely related to the development of society. Originating in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, popular music is characterized by its concise structure, accessible content, lively form, and wide dissemination. As the global hub of popular music, the United States has witnessed the diverse development of various music genres. In recent years, with the continuous growth of the music industry, popular music has become an important aspect of showcasing a country's or region's cultural soft power. Against the backdrop of globalization and fierce competition between China and the United States as major powers, the competition of cultural soft power between the two countries has become increasingly intense. Therefore, conducting a comparative analysis of the current data on popular songs from China and the United States on music platforms, analyzing and comparing their influence, is of significant importance in grasping the trends of the times, understanding popular trends, enhancing China's cultural soft power, and using music as a vehicle to promote Chinese culture on the global stage.
