Trying to think of artists who are more popular in a foreign country other than their own.
These are the ones I've thought of so far....
Lana Del Rey - American, more popular in the UK
P!nk - American, more popular in Australia (isn't she?)
Nicole Scherzinger - American, more popular in the UK

There are a couple of artists I can think of who were initially more popular abroad than they were at home. Queen were much more successful in places like America and Japan before they became a household name in Britain. Same deal with Def Leppard.

I love the new-school Kelis, the Calvin Harris produced, polished dance music version of herself. |

Darren Hayes (lead singer of Savage Garden) His solo career is completely centered around Australia (where he's from) and the UK (where he lives now). It sucks.
