I think on further reflection there's nothing on Nonetheless that elevates it to within the top 30 songs. I'm confident for myself that I could name 30 songs of theirs I'd prefer over any on the album. That doesn't mean Nonetheless is bad, just that there's a bunch of other stuff that is better.

You are talking about UK, basically. Not the rest of the world.
Obviously. If they weren't successful here, I doubt very much they'd still be going.


Of course, so the right sentence is:

"Their tours are bigger and more popular than ever in UK".
I think we were talking about a lot more than the tours. Keep up.

Just because you were talking about tours before.

If we talk about media, that was basically in UK, Spain and Germany. Italy, France are big countries and their popularity there is quite short now. In US, PSB is almost forgotten. Could you imagine them in the Super Bowl? :mrgreen:

We get it. You long for the 80s. You might just need to find another act to follow, bc it's been decades since PSB were big in America? It's getting onto 40 years, depending how you measure.

I don't think it could happen, they don't even recieve a Grammy.

Lol, a grammy.
You have to be American to get a grammy.

The music has to be released in the US
The nationality of the artist is irrelevant

Take a look at the Grammy winners and tell me which ones are non-US artists (only Kylie, I think).

The only way PSB could get popularity in America could be with a musical with songs from PSB. The songs from PSB has a very cinematic vibe, specially the classics. They now work for Warner.
