We had a great music scene (britpop) and they killed it.
In 1998, only one of the top 20 best selling singles was by a UK act (Goodbye by the Spice Girls). This trend continued...
Radio 1 snobs refused to playlist Ooberman and Straw. Meanwhile they happily accepted US imports Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera giving them superstar status.
The UK have preferred reality TV to find one-hit wonders.

No, but they hardly help the state of the UK music scene. Although I am not a fan, I think that Lemar and Will Young could have success outside the UK and to me Liberty X and Girls Aloud are GOOD pop bands and I'm always pleased to see that...  |
