How American food, film and music influences culture around the world | This is America
America projects global power through the world's most formidable military and the economic sway of the US dollar as the currency of choice. But its influence - its ability to change minds around the world - comes in large part through the soft power of American culture.

The songs of American musicians dominate many of the charts worldwide.
