You do realise that Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix Experience both only had 1 top 40 hit right?

In Britain, the JHE had 3 Top 10 hits in 1967, Hey Joe reached #4, Purple Haze #2 and The wind cries Mary #6 all in 1967. Music is not all America.

Are you sure?

Experiance's first album was the best selling album of 1967 and containd most of the Hendrix well known songs.

simultaneously touring throughout England: "Hey Joe"/"Stone Free", which was released in December 1966 through Polydor Records because Track Records was not yet operational; "Purple Haze"/"51st Anniversary", released in March 1967 and was the first release by Track Records on a special white label; and "The Wind Cries Mary"/"Highway Chile" which was released in May 1967 and is said to be written by Hendrix for his long time love, Kathy Etchingham (whose middle name is Mary), after he was left alone at home when she stormed out after a fight.^[4] All three of these singles reached the Top 10 in the UK.

Yep, in the U.S both of them are more along the lines of cult artists.

Consider that more records are sold in America then basically anywhere, and that selling a million copies in Britain is a big deal...
