Why is German pop culture less popular worldwide than American, British and Japanese?

Boney M are great but weren't they all British apart from one bloke being possibly German. I remember them being interviewed and they all sounded British mostly. I could be wrong but they didn't sound German for sure with regard accents.

It's a German group according to wikipedia.

Click on the original Boney M members. Four are British and one is Dutch. Seems like they were based in Germany at the beginning and the producer was German. Many groups were produced and based in the UK but we don't claim them as British unless the members of the group are British.  In fact Reggie seems to live just up the road from me in Wiltshire.
