October 24, 200817 yr Just sampled or actually covered? Sampled. May have even been on the same album.
October 24, 200817 yr As recognized by the RIAA (which has tracked record sales since 1952), out of the top 100 selling artists in the United States, all of the artists hail from a total of 6 countries. Two of them are the United States and the United Kingdom. Can you name the other 4 countries which boast some top-selling U.S. Artists? And if you can, can you name the artists from those countries? For the record, two of the countries have 1 performer/group, one country has 2 performers/groups, and the other country has 3 performers/group. Jamaica - Bob Marley and other reggae artists Mexico - Selena and other Latino artists Canada - Greats such as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot And I'm going to go with Sweden as my dark horse, thanks to the great Ace Of Base.

October 24, 200817 yr 2 correct countries, but 0 correct artists, surprisingly. You can't even tell me which acts were right? And I have a hard time believing Bob Marley and Neil Young aren't among the top-selling artists of all-time. Canada Sweden Ireland Australia
October 24, 200817 yr That is correct. Incorrect. It was like "3 Feet" in that it was a big crossover pop hit, however. Still alive ... Magic Number by de La Soul http://philspector.wordpress.com/category/sampled/
October 24, 200817 yr Author I'll say Australia with AC/DC and (I believe) Kylie Minogue... 1 correct country and 1 correct artist. Still remaining: Country A with 3 artists Country B with 2 artists Country C with 1 artst
October 24, 200817 yr Author You can't even tell me which acts were right? And I have a hard time believing Bob Marley and Neil Young aren't among the top-selling artists of all-time. Canada Sweden Ireland Australia I will PM you so as to not ruin the fun for others. This is a much closer answer though.
October 25, 200817 yr Author I'll say Australia with AC/DC Ireland-U2 So far, these are the only two correct answers. There is one more artist from Ireland. An unmentioned country (the only non-English speaking country on the list) has 1 artist And Canada has 3 unnamed artists
