QUOTE(THEO. @ Apr 12 2012, 05:45 PM)  Well you didn't mention that, and they're still not comparable as artists. I don't see why not, they both make awful bland pop music aimed at pre-pubecant girls |

where is the video for Adele's Rumor Has It or Set Fire To The Rain????
 God that woman is sooo lazy, she's the biggest selling artist in the world by far wothout any promotion whatsoever, no videos, rarre TV appearances..If someone said back in the year 2007 that we would have 2 British Boybands in the US top 5 five years later, they would think it's an April's fool joke.... it's coming TRUE  I wish that the US would've been more aware of British talent at its peak in the 90's and early 2000's, they missed out on a lot of UK/Irish great boy bands such as Take That, East 17, Five, Boyzone, Westlife, MN8, 911 and solo singers such as Robbie Williams & Solo Spice Girls to name but a few.... not mentioning the amazing rock bands that emerged back then....

What? Take That's "Back For Good" and Five's "When The Lights Go Out" were both U.S. top ten hits!
And Westlife are terrible, but they still were able to go top 30 with "Swear It Again" in the U.S. This post has been edited by Ne Plus Ultra: Apr 13 2012, 01:31 PM |

QUOTE(SKOB @ Apr 12 2012, 02:22 PM) Bieber is doing so well! In 2 weeks Boyfriend has sold a lot more than the latest Katy Perry single did, for example. QUOTE(THEO. @ Apr 12 2012, 06:45 PM) Well you didn't mention that, and they're still not comparable as artists. Did being the key word, if SKOB had said has then they meant overall. But as Jahq said you just read it wrong. I think Boyfriend will end up selling more then Part Of Me, POM hasnt actually done as well as i would have thought, but obviously has done well. I think you can definitely compare them, both make pop music which is the main reason why they definitely can be compared (cheesy pop at times  ) and both have huge female fanbases. Bieber doesnt have a video out yet, whens that out? Cant believe The Wanted & One D are #3 and #4, who would have thought that last year

Of course I liked many of these acts back in the day but I don't think any of them will be remembered into the future. I think at that time, the music scene in the UK was stagnated with bubble gum boy/girlbands. And the US music scene was really innovating with hip/hop and R&B. Britney, Destiny's Child, Eminem, etc. were miles ahead of UK pop acts. BUT, we all know within a few years it was the UK that was innovating and the US scene that had stagnated... dominated by increasingly dull and insipid hip/hop and "crunk." From 2005 onward, the UK scene has had a HUGE effect on improving and adapting US charts, pop radio, and the scene overall. Music out of the UK/Ireland is leading the world right now and FAR improved from 10 years ago. |

Garth Brooks is the biggest selling artist in the US for the 90's and he failed to sell much outside the US.... |

Garth Brooks is the biggest selling artist in the US for the 90's and he failed to sell much outside the US.... Well I was referring more to the period of 1998-2002. Led by Timberland, Dark Child, Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, etc., US R&B and hip/hop were really breaking new musical ground at the time. I agree that by the mid-2000's it was becoming dull and boring. I do have to point out that early two-step/garage out of the UK was also very fresh and always deserved more recognition and popularity in the US. Besides, Garth Brooks may have been the biggest album seller in the US but Billboard declared Mariah Carey the top artist of the 90s. She certainly sold well globally... garnering 22 top 40 hits in the UK that decade... |

However, I honestly think the dance/electropop domination we have now led on from "crunk" (I'm prepared to write a massive essay explaining why I think this if needs be ), so there's possibly a silver lining in that.

Maybe, but most of the artists in the US charts at the time were unrecognizable outside the US, but we still have a 40% share now of unrecognizable US artists but way down from the 90's and 00's.... |
