How big were the Thompson twins in the UK ????

[Jerry Rice]

So back in 05 I had a chat with Saddo about Billy Idol, he told me that Billy Idol was never that big in the UK and he was surprised that he made it so big stateside, so a question for my British posters is this, what things out of the UK made it big stateside that weren't big in the UK,

My question is how big were the Thompson Twins in the UK back in the 80's ?

Anything you hear the Brits tell you about the Thompson Twins will be lies

Some our biggest bands can't make it in the USA such as Spice Girls, Take That, Bros, which is good on you.

I was 8 years old when that came out, big hit.
