Little Mix, Rita Ora and Jess Glynne all deserved better. Rita Ora has gotten exactly what she deserves

It's true for the band. They were huge in the UK with Kings of the Wild Frontier and Prince Charming. Adam didn't make a dent in the US charts until going solo.

All Saints Jessie J FKA Twigs Cleopatra Jessie J did have three hits here (two big ones), although most people would probably be shocked if you told them that. Sidenote - remember her song "Wild"? How was that not huge here?

How was that not huge here? Jessie J is also a Grammy nominee, co-wrote "Party in the U.S.A.," won a Billboard Woman of the Year award, had albums hit #10 and #11, etc. so she's not exactly chopped liver.

Jessie had a couple of hits sure, but then she fell off. She couldn't make it last. And then she stopped trying for big commercial success anyway.

The Bedingfield siblings. Just nitpicking but Daniel was actually born in New Zealand. And he didn't do that well anywhere after his first album. I don't think it's fair to just list acts that have only couple of hits no matter the market for "not making it in the US". EDIT: To continue the topic: The Beautiful South I don't know if Shamen tried to make it properly but they got only one top 40 hit in the US. East 17 Eternal had one top 20 hit with Stay and nothing after that even though I Wanna Be the Only One was a global smash otherwise.

Jasmine Thompson, though she isn't too popular in the UK either, only having mostly low charting songs with one exception that hit #2.

All Saints Jessie J FKA Twigs Cleopatra Jessie J did have three hits here (two big ones), although most people would probably be shocked if you told them that. Similarly, All Saints did have one platinum album and a top 10 hit ("Never Ever"). But I'm not sure if that's making it when nothing further charted in the US (if it was even widely released) even while having a few more international hits. Maybe they were seen, fairly or not, as too much of a Spice Girls knockoff?

Push Baby (pka Rixton who had Me and My Broken Heart which cracked the top 15)
