Posted April 6, 200619 yr Looking at the board this morning there is something about a guy called eros (well something like that) and shayne ward. i suppose there is a much chance for shayne, being from uk's x-factor, to mean nothing to anyone from italy, like that eros bloke as that eroc bloke is too me, even though both (probably) will be the biggest selling chart acts in their countries. i was wondering what other massive chart acts from around the world that you know about that have racked up many number ones in other countries, get mobbed whenever they step outside but dont mean nothing (or very little) to people in the united kingdom (and ireland - seeing that most record companies are jointly for these territories)
April 6, 200619 yr The original was Johnny Hallyday in France ... Who? I hear you say. Since the 1960s he has been THE biggest and most well known singer in France yet virtually unknown outside of the Francophone World .... He has had hit after hit but never took the step to sing in English and try to make it elsewhere A sort of Cliff Richard of La Belle France ....

Tiziano Ferro is another one. Big in Italy, Spain and (I think) France and much of South America, but nothing ever released here, even when he did a duet with Jamelia.
