Lovefool_The Cardigansactually The Cardigans had a couple of hits from their Grand Turisimo(follow up album) album as well. "Erase and Rewind" for example
Yeah The New Radical song You get What you give is a good one.
In the US Dexy Midnight Runners had a huge hit and their only hit over there with "Comer On Eileen". Had numerous hit in Europe though.
A "debatable" one hit wonder is Gerry Rafferty and his "Baker Street", debatable because the album City To City(1977) sold very well and still do. But I think that "Baker Street" was the only hit single form that album though
or Status Quo... the only did one song, they just kept renaming it for forty years😂 😆 😂 even though I agree with you the truth is they have had a couple of huge hits. "Whatever You Want", " You`re in The Army Now" (a cover version of "Bolland and Bolland"only thing SQ had a much bigger hit with the cover thanB&B had with the original) "Rockin All Over The World" and "Paper Plane"
having a hit in europe isn't as important as having a hit in th eUSsometimes it is the fact that it is a hit in Europe that gets the song attention in the US.
Everyone knows that the US is the richest country in the worldnot entirely true though even if the US are considered one of the richest countries. The countries that are considered richer than the US are too small to make a huge impact when it comes to the musical marked.
Beckham is one of hte most popular peoplein the world, but he still can't break big in the US--he keeps trying though.its a difference of being a celebrity than a musician.
All the european artists try to conquer the US for one reason: $$$most artist do it for that reason, but there are some artists/bands that are happy to make it on the European continent alone.
it is Mambo #5 🙂
