Have any non Americans not heard of the music group Boney M? Or any American heard of Boney M?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boney_M
I was quite surprised that none of my American friends ever heard of them. Boney M was a world hit in 70s and 80s. At the bottom of the above wiki link, they give the chart positions in various countries.
I was wondering it is a difference in the music taste or poor marketing?
Another one, "Men at work" from Australia. They were a huge success in Australia, but also had a tough time entering into US market. But their masterpiece "Land down Under"
() was a huge hit all over the world. Amazing song...
