JKKDARK Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 british music in the 80s was huge in america and then the 90s came along and it just died.so whats the score now,is british music bands/solo artists making a splash over there?especially in the charts.What kind of british music? Def Leppard is still doing well, they are touring and still on major label. It was one of the few Glam Metal bands which still got big success in the 90s. The Darkness was a Hard Rock from this decade. They got big success on their country, but very limited on the US (from the 2 albums, only one got a RIAA certification which was only Gold).

Wizard Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Radiohead is pretty popular. Creep got them up there, so did OK Computer and Kid A in the U.S. Although their stance on playing big venues with alot of advertisments is a problem, as they'd definately sellout those big venues. James Blunt is doing well, but I hate how he sings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
