Posted December 1, 200817 yr Sorry if there is already a thread. Just somewhere for random chart facts, if anyone feels inclined :) Heres one Between 1964 and 1974 , 49 singles by British acts got to the USA Billboard number one. Between 1998 and 2008 only 4 British singles got there (3 of those in the last 2 years).
December 1, 200817 yr Wow in a decade only Elton John (1997/8), James Blunt (2006), Leona Lewis (2008) and Coldplay (2008) have made it to the top over there. :o
December 1, 200817 yr Unwritten wasn't number 1 on the Hot 100 chart. I think it was #1 on the adult contemporary chart for several months. It was played on those radio stations for an eternity.
December 1, 200817 yr What about Natasha Bedingfield 'Unwritten'?? :unsure: Peaked at #5 which Pocketful Of Sunshine recently matched.
December 1, 200817 yr It looks like for an international act (not just british) is more and more difficult to crack the US market nowadays :(
