Mass media generally aims for some universally intelligible and inoffensive dialect, which becomes boring only by association. But it’s still as much a dialect as any other.

I know a guy who thought British accents disappeared when they started singing. He seemed heartbroken that it was a marketing decision for some British singers to try to sound more American for the larger marketplace, and not some sort of universality of the language of music.
