This term is widely used in both American and Brazilian entertainment industries to distinguish successful commercial artists from independent or underground creators. In Brazil, while 'talento mainstream' is commonly used in media and entertainment contexts, 'artista consagrado' (established artist) or 'artista de massa' (mass-appeal artist) may be preferred in more traditional or formal Portuguese contexts. The concept reflects the entertainment industry's division between mainstream commercial ventures and alternative or independent scenes.
