Twisted Sister is American, they are from New Jersey. U96 are German, Somebody Dance With Me was the one that sampled Somebody's Watching Me (that song came out in 1983).
There are sine Swedish artists on this list, but I think they had top 10 placements outside of Sweden also. But for some reason it didn't resonate with the British as much as other countries.
I left a message under his videos about songs that hit the UK charts and flopped in the states does not mean those songs flopped. Those were huge hits on the radio charts. You don't go by Billboard 100 back in those days. Radio requests were a big thing back then, and you got big hits with the songs that were said to be flops.
Based on her name, Agnetha Fältskog, yes she's swedish, but also quite known for being the main singer in ABBA :)
DR Albans biggest hit in the UK was it's my life , it peaked at NO. 2

I agree with you, this list was pointless. Hugs from Sweden.
It's because uk have bad taste in music.
when we've created the best music/artists in history, think again lol
@karlJCompton Maybe you are a bit limited then!
Sometimes record companies put little to no effort into promoting songs, it's not just about the taste of the nation.
