Are any other British members really aware of the Shakira worship too or is that just localised to where I live?

Don't be too hard on the good sis The South Korea. It Should Be Easy sold like 100k there.

Wait, I did hear that Britney is big there.

I retract my statement.

Nobody cares about Beyonce in my country.

Taylor got huge with the 1989 era, this past year I've heard so many people praising her or listening to her music.

We have the whole Bey-worship thing going on a bit too but not as much as America.

Interesting. What about Katy?

Not really respected. Seen as harmless.

Problem is HUGE in Korea. I remember it was slaying Melon last year.

We listen to her songs occasionally but in general we don't really care about her.

Poor Fadga

Britney isn't big here

I think people would say they like her if you asked but she feels irrelevant to me

She is not universally known, either. Not like Rihanna and Fadga are.

Older generation don't know her.

I don't think any artist is an 'icon' here

[alkralkra]

Britney used to be HUGE in SK. I remember my friends talking about Toxic and how cool/weird it was.

Everyone's suddenly stopped caring about her since her breakdown.

This is true. In terms of being known by name I'd probably say Rihanna > Gaga > Beyoncé > Katy > Taylor.

UK loves Arctic Monkeys.
My kings.

[conatus]

Arctic Monkeys...

Yeah, people adore them here. NME reviews are pretty accurate for an insight into the mindset of the average British AM fan.

Mmm I'm curious now, what about Eminem?
