Not really. Robbie Williams is irrelevant in the US and he signed an $80 million deal in the early 2000s (comparable to MJ, Madonna, Janet's deals).
Speaking of Shakira, she sold over 10m albums in Latin America alone with her first two albums.
And you have acts like Stromae, Take That, Emeli Sande, who are huge now without big US support.
