do we just have better taste?

Some of them sell more in America, but are less popular overall (there's 300 million of them to our 60 million).

I think out indie scene is just a bit more set in place in the UK.

And Vampire Weekend. I think they're more popular here.

And yes, we do have better taste

Alhough im not a fan the Scissor Sisters are another example!

The U.S. chart is filled with R&B for some reason and Mariah Carey has had about a million number ones. Think that says all you need to know about American taste in music.
