Asians (any ethnicity) don't appeal to mainstream audiences in the US or other western countries. The only exception is if they pass as white like Freddie Mercury.

PSY being a joke was the reason he did well. That's the only way Asian men get jobs in the western entertainment industry. Have you seen most Asian male roles on TV (the Japanese guy on Heroes and the Indian guy on Community)?

PSY's music is not more catchy than other Korean pop songs. He had mass appeal because western people were making of a mockery of East Asian men. It was funny to see this short, fat, stocky Korean man doing some ridiculous dance routine.
