This is a well-crafted and nostalgic take on music trends across the Atlantic!
You highlight an interesting contrast between UK and US musical tastes, showing how some British bands struggled to break into the American market despite their massive success at home. The insights on Diana Ross, The Jam, and Madness are particularly engaging, especially the observation about accents playing a role in international success.

Are you planning to make this a series? @slobberchops
It would be cool to explore more artists who had regional success but didn’t quite make it globally.
