Today is all for the UK charts!!! Because it seems America doesn’t like Brit Pop.
45 Years Ago - 1979 Madness released their debut album One Step Beyond...
Oh..more SKA than Brit-Pop.
"Our House" was a massive success in 1983 for Madness, but besides that, you might have seen them on The Young Ones when it aired on MTV.
"The Prince" made #16 UK.
"My Girl" peaked at #3 UK.
"Night Boat to Cairo" was a UK #6 single.

Because America hates Kylie Minogue (or it seems so)
35 Years Ago - 1989 Kylie Minogue released her second album Enjoy Yourself.
She reunited with Stock Aitken Waterman who produced her first album.
It failed to find an audience in America and Geffen dropped her as an act.
"Hand on Your Heart" it was a #1 UK and UK Dance hit.
