Anything by Anastacia - she’s pretty much gone unnoticed in American charts which I find incredible! Big star here in the UK at one time, for many years.

Jamelia - Superstar - peaked at #3 in the UK



- #1 in Australia, Czech Republic, New Zealand and Poland
- Platinum in Australia and New Zealand
- Appeared in games and soundtracks from around the world

Although Superstar charted higher elsewhere, it’s still one of the most recognised songs in UK pop culture

Always amazes me that ‘Lights’ by Ellie Goulding was the 5th most sold song in the USA in 2012

But the UK didn’t even put it in the top 40 for a single week

#1 in the UK in 2006, never charted in their homeland (USA). Scissor Sisters also never hit the charts back home, but had 10 top 40 singles here.

^^ Remember when Scissor Sisters were MASSIVE here in the UK?

Almost everyone I knew owned their first album, including me!

David Grey is one who was massive in Ireland and he credits his success here as the only reason he ever took off in the UK (despite being from there) White Ladder is still the biggest selling album in Ireland today
