Hit Singles Worldwide
Whether or not a single becomes a hit can depend on geographical location. Musical taste varies considerably and singles which are not hits in their country of origin sometimes become chart topping hits in other parts of the world. For example "Blind To The Groove", released in 1998 by UK band Ultra did not chart in the UK but became a top ten hit in Spain. Nicole Scherzinger is far more popular in the UK, than her native US, scoring a number one single in 2011 ("Don't Hold Your Breath"), in the UK, as well as other hits there, but very little success in the US as a solo artist.
