We just took a look at iTunes recently and noticed that several Asian Americans were in the Top 20. Check out the following artists on the chart:
#1 Grenade by Bruno Mars
#4 The Time (Dirty Bit) by the Black Eyed Peas (Apl.de.Ap reppin’)
#10 Rocketeer by Far East Movement
#15 Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars
#17 Like a G6 by Far East Movement
Great way to start 2011 with so much Asian American representation in the Top 20. For those that like percentages, that’s 25% of the Top 20 or 1 in 4 songs. These aren’t just spins on the radio. It’s actual sales of music. Music industry sign some Asian Americans to your label.

Enrique Iglesias may not be American but he is half Spanish and Filipino. His mom is a Filipina and, of course, we all know who his father is.
