55 Read the text and say whether your guesses were correct.
Western music has become popular all over the world. “Pop” music developed into a global industry in the second half of the 20th century. It started with Elvis Presley and The Beatles, who could be called the world’s first rock stars. These musicians created a new era, allowing other singers to become internationally famous.
Rock-n-roll was spreading throughout the continents when a small group in the northwest of England appeared. At that time, the group was playing in small halls in Liverpool. They decided to change their name from the Quarrymen to The Beatles and in the following eight years they sold millions of records all over the world and became as popular as Elvis.
Both music professionals and fans agree that Elvis Presley and The Beatles are the most valuable phenomena to have entered the pop music world of the 20th century. They started a new era that then created a new global industry.
In the 21st century pop music is changing quickly. It is sometimes impossible to predict what group or singer will become successful and if the public will buy their music. So, the industry is also changing.
