May 26, 201312 yr Thanks for this :D How about UK artists that had a US number 1 but not a UK one (Rolling In The Deep e.g.)
May 26, 201312 yr Thanks for this :D How about UK artists that had a US number 1 but not a UK one (Rolling In The Deep e.g.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Billb...British_artists From this list it can be seen that the following UK acts managed a US but never managed a UK #1: Acker Bilk Freddie & The Dreamers Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders Donovan New Vaudeville Band Lulu (although she did top the UK chart as featured artist on Relight My Fire) Ringo Starr (as a solo artist) Average White Band Manfred Mann's Earth Band (although their predecessors Manfred Mann did top the UK chart) Andy Gibb M Sheena Easton Air Supply (50% British) Yes John Waite Tears For Fears John Parr Dire Straits Robert Palmer Genesis Peter Gabriel Steve Winwood (as a solo artist) Bananarama Cutting Crew Kim Wilde Whitesnake Billy Idol Def Leppard Escape Club (never charted at all in the UK) Mike & The Mechanics Fine Young Cannibals Maxi Priest EMF Sting (topped US chart on All For Love, did top UK chart with The Police) Seal (although he sung on Adamski's Killer) Jay Sean
May 26, 201312 yr I think Blurred Lines and/or Get Lucky might be added to this list soon. They're both climbing the chart very fast.
May 26, 201312 yr Quick list of artists with 2+. No prizes for guessing who's on top :P 14 The Beatles 6 Elvis Presley Rihanna 5 Madonna 4 Michael Jackson The Rolling Stones 3 Blondie Bruno Mars Elton John George Michael Katy Perry Usher Whitney Houston 2 The Bee Gees Black Eyed Peas Cher Christina Aguilera Everly Brothers Frank Sinatra Justin Timberlake Lady Gaga Nancy Sinatra Pink Rod Stewart Shaggy Stevie Wonder Edited May 26, 201312 yr by Fruity
May 26, 201312 yr Jay Sean sticks out like a SORE THUMB on that list. :D Erm, no. The names that really stick out are the wonderful EMF and the genius who is Peter Gabriel. I could also add Cutting Crew as the lead singer was in the year above me at school.
May 26, 201312 yr Surely the names that stick out are Genesis and Mike & The Mechanics, because Mike Rutherford was in both bands? Peter Gabriel was of course an ex-member of Genesis when he knocked them off the top after only one week.
May 27, 201312 yr I think maybe he meant Jay Sean sticks out because he's current, whilst the rest were from quite a while ago in comparison.
May 27, 201312 yr Thanks for this :D How about UK artists that had a US number 1 but not a UK one (Rolling In The Deep e.g.) You might want to clarify that, since Adele *has* had a UK #1 - just not with *that* song...
May 27, 201312 yr Given the man QUITE PATENTLY follows the charts isn't it really bloody obvious what he meant?
May 27, 201312 yr Erm, no. The names that really stick out are the wonderful EMF and the genius who is Peter Gabriel. I could also add Cutting Crew as the lead singer was in the year above me at school. Pardon? Jay Sean is the only one on the list who's had a hit in the last five years and still has potential for another hit song. I thought you of all people would be able to realise that!
May 27, 201312 yr Given the man QUITE PATENTLY follows the charts isn't it really bloody obvious what he meant? Not necessarily - the fact that I found it potentially ambiguous, means that others might, too.
May 27, 201312 yr I think Blurred Lines and/or Get Lucky might be added to this list soon. They're both climbing the chart very fast. 'Blurred Lines', yes. I reckon that will be the next US no. 1 but can't see Daft Punk topping the US charts. Out of interest, how many of those transatlantic #1 hits were simultaneous?
