British acts dominate World Music in 2008

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: “The global music industry tends to operate in cycles, and right now British artists are very much in the ascendancy - both creatively and commercially. British acts dominated the recent Grammy awards, and they are enjoying the kind of influence over the US music scene that their American counterparts once used to enjoy over the UK charts.”

biggrin The top ten albums for 2008:

1: Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (EMI Music)

2: AC/DC - Black Ice (Sony Music)

3: Various Artists - Mamma Mia! The Movie Soundtrack (Universal Music)

4: Duffy - Rockferry (Universal Music)

5: Metallica - Death Magnetic (Warner Music/Universal Music)

all the members except one (Rudd) were born in Britain but they formed in Sydney in 1973

i think it depends on who you ask i no plenty of people from the Britain who would argue that they are a British band and loads from Australia who would argue that they are Australian, i guess it just depends on who you ask lol
