^ It's just odd is all. The US market is obviously THE market that any artist wants to break because the commercial viability is most prevalent there. You know the old saying "make it there and you can make it anywhere". Apparently not.
and CupidBoy, no disrespect but to say "we can only enjoy what we're exposed to" is not the modern day way of thinking of music. Thanks to the early days of Napster and all the uploaded music advances that came after it a revolution started. The consumer took control of what the RCAA and others "gave" to us. Now we have the power to choose. It' so irrelevant what we are subjected to by the way of "charts" etc today. Thanks to the internet we have the freedom to explore and pick and chose what our individual sound is and what (if ever) we'll support and buy. By the internet's very nature and to counter your argument we are "exposed" to everything. Marketing by a certain label is a bygone era. WE now dictate to THEM what works and what doesn't.
