There was one other band like this, but I can't think of their name right now. Maybe it will come to me later.

Just googled and Dina Carroll sold 1.5 million copies of her debut album in the UK alone but i doubt if anyone here would be able to recognise her or remember any of her songs.
― Billy Dods, Thursday, 5 July 2007 22:05 (seventeen years ago)
yeah but that's the UK. i'm sure that most people in the UK would shrug their shoulders if you mentioned hit albums from 2005.

The Mission were huge in the UK up until about 1991. Unbelievable really, given how crap they actually were.

au contraire - first hit was a cover of Carole King's It's Too Late in combination with Quartz, followed by Ain't No Man, Express and a song about the new year at er, new year.

by and large, the various "next Smiths" have really faded over the years:

and let's not forget Elastica...
