British acts haven't been selling ANYTHING in the States for years. Radiohead are doing very well (both "Kid A" and "Amnesiac" getting to No. 1) but before that the last British act to get to the Billboard No. 1 was The Prodigy's "Fat of the land" in '97. I read the same "British music in trouble" article when Oasis and The Verve were selling less albums in America and Britsh rock music still wont sell any albums there cos its dull, dull, dull. Electronic stuff wont sell much either as electronic music gets very little airplay in the States...
