Answer 4

Of course it is. Teenagers listen to all the recent american hits. And people in 30s...e.t.c. listen to their oldies favourites plus the newest hits. As for specific artists, they are so many!!! From Sinatra and Little Richard to Nat King Cole and Aretha Franklin. From Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Patti Smith. Really they are so many. Don't forget that the majority of american artists are internationally known and have fans everywhere. Greece is not an exception. On the contrary, we are great fans of all kinds of american music.

Answer 5

yeah a lot... I'm a teenager and i olny listen to american music... my favorite band is 3dd and my favorite artist is Kelly Clarkson (who is half greek) and Justin Timberlake

We also know the lyrics of all the american songs...

Your songs are coming in Greece after a while

For example Rihanna's Take a bow came to Greece a month after it's first show off in America but i don't think it does matter..

Me personally i am interested in your music and i'm infermed by internet sites for new songs which i download before coming to Greece

and what the guy said above: go to www.883villagefm.gr and listen a little bit

Answer 6

Definately it is... teenagers enjoy listening to many American Artists, like Shakira and a lot of American Bands, like the Fray and so on...

Greek Teens mainly like certain songs and not a whole album of an american Artist...

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 10

Nope haha I just earned 2 points

Answer 11

Listen to Village FM (88.3) and you will barrels of American music, plus all the copy-cat tired stuff Americans used to do 30 years ago.  They have this thing called "spasmeno telephone" which is a poor-mans imitation of candid-phone from the 1980s in Los Angeles, but it's horrible!!!  Not funny, and quite boring, long etc.

But, if the D.J.s can stop yapping, the music on Village FM is quite nice, a fair mix of American, British, and occasional Greek music mixed in.

My favorite is the American Girl "Kalomira" who sings my Secret combination, or the Swedish girl Elena Paparizaki who also get play on the Greek stations.
