Malaysian mainstream music is ‘influenced’ by international top 40 hits by sampling, using the same progressions, melody hook and groove?

Here’s a couple of examples,
A theory, a thread.

Haqiem Rusli’s Jatuh Bangun sounds a lil bit out of a Bieber song,
here are the examples..

and now compare with this All Around The World song by Bieber.

2. This is Ismail Izzani’s LuarBiasa. The groove of this song reminds me of a Maroon 5 song.

and now compare it with Maroon 5’s What Lovers Do.

Update! Here’s another song that uses the same beat and melody line of another song. Its by @flizzow called Sampai Jadi.

and here’s the doppelganger.
Yung Jae feat HeartBreaka & Stupid Young - Feel Like

another update, this time a song by Zizi Kirana - Nak Ke Taknak (lagu paling pointless pernah aku dengar). It sounds like the beat and rhythm section is using Bhad Bhabie’s Hi Bich.

take note on the similarities.

latest update! Tasha Manshahar’s Terima Kasih Cinta is using the same chord progression like my fav band Vertical Horizon from the 90s.

this is Best I Ever Had from Vertical Horizon, take note on how the progression moves.

another one, Sheila Majid’s Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta sounds a lil bit identical with a song from Coldplay..

compare Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta with this one, Amazing Day / Coldplay

Khalifah Band’s Hang Pi Mana sounds something out of a MCR song...

My Chemical Romance- Nanana.. the chorus’s hook sounds pretty much the same.

something from the past! this is prolly one of the most well-known. Black Dog Bone’s Khayalan sounds more or less the same like a song by Earth Wind & Fire.
