One of The reasons british music was less popular in the 90s and 00s would probably be the difference in popular music genres ..the 90s n 00s in the US was mainly hip hop n rnb focused with some grunge n punk where as the UK was mostly 'pop' and dance music and with some brit-rock, hence why artists like oasis n coldplay did well in the US is coz they appealed the few rock fans that still existed in the late 90s early 00s
One reason they were popular in the 80’s was due to embracing video and being on MTV which started in 1981 - more British songs could be played and this proved to make them more popular as the American acts were slow to act
I've just checked it out. A cover that doesn't stray too far from the original but is sufficiently different to make it worth listening to as well. th-cam.com/video/42iYsyOiTW8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fFu2xG12u8e5Em_f
The dead spot is when hip hop took over the US charts and that period of US hip hop was really insular and self referential. The hip hop derived genres being made in the rest of the world didn't get near the US charts at all and it was only music that sounded like older pop from other countries that broke through. Then there is the change in the demographics of the music buying public and the switch to counting streaming. You have to appeal to middle aged Mom's and their teenage daughters if you want to chart in many countries now. There is still cool music being made all over it's just going to hit the top spot a lot less than it used to unless it's also got some sort of wow factor that hooks the Mom's and their daughters.
Idk who makes these original videos but they'd be alot better if it was every top 10 instead of just number 1, some songs that are at 2,3 and 4, one week, can still sell more n be more popular than what's at number 1 the week after
For the 21st century, yes, but if I did that historically, the video would last hours. Between the 60s and 80s, there were at least a thousand British top 10 hits in the USA.
Maybe, I'd say 60s n 80s had equally as big and popular artists , ofc the beatles n stones etc were huuuge but quantity wise I feel there were more popular artists in the 80s
@@jadebel7006 That's only referring to singles. I don't think we should ignore the 70s when it comes to albums, considering that the three biggest stars in singles in the USA during the 70s were British (Elton John, Bee Gees, and the Beatles as solo artists). But in albums, the British had an enormous amount of success in the 70s! Led Zeppelin dominated the entire decade, for example. Let's not forget artists like Peter Frampton, who still holds the record for the best-selling live album in US history.
4:11 that place is in the UK, it's called Durdle Door and is on the south coast.

Also Whitney and Mariah are too famous that time.

the Tears for fears Shout song was filmed in a place called Durdle Door in Dorset England xx
The Sixties, with the Beatles etc., was known as 'The British Invasion' in the US. The Eighties was known as 'The Second British Invasion'.
The 80s was the best music in the uk too. We sold 25% of all the worlds music back then
He is in Dorset, UK!
merry christmas from uk 😄
At 10:36 Elton John with Candle In The Wind, Elton wrote the song as a homage to the recently deceased Princess Diana.
Rewrote the song - the original was about Marilyn Monroe
@CharlesGeorge-v7v all music is just a rewrite of the same few notes
😊😊
Elton was at number 1 for 14 weeks because princess Diana died and that song sung at her funeral
3:02 simple minds are irish smh
They're Scottish, from Glasgow.
My friends band Dramalove did a really good cover of everybody wants to rule the world by Tears for Fears definitely worth checking out
I've just checked it out. A cover that doesn't stray too far from the original but is sufficiently different to make it worth listening to as well.

A red head more popular than annie lennox david Bowie.
Or Adele?
So George Michael/Wham had the most nr 1 hits in total
Maybe Phil Collins/Genesis?
@@Derry_Aire yes!
A popular red head before her? Ermm hello Mary Poppins, well in every role except Mary Poppins lol
The peak of british music in US was the 60's.

Don't like the 90s music one bit.
I don't think anyone in the UK would want to claim Foreigner!
Why not? They have so many well recognized songs. Unless I missed some controversy with them
@sav0001 No controversy, they're just very American and I don't remember anyone listening to them here in the 80s.
American singer Lou Gramm
@@advanced_ict They had a massive number one hit in the UK in 1985 with I Want To Know What Love Is.
Did you call George Harrison the fourth Beatle? You obviously know nothing about music!
They called him that because they couldn't remember his name in Part 1.
