That is very true. I believe that Bella Donna would've been HUGE over here and Stand Back had the potential to be a massive hit but didn't get played and there was NO promotion.

It's a big opportunity missed as record sales in the UK have always been massive compared to other countries. As a country and taking population into account, we are the biggest buyers of music on average. FACT. We also have great venues and have produced many of the most successful artists of all time including The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and loads more!

Stevie just chose to stay safe with her most loyal audience. Those people being from the US.

There's also evidence that she could've been big over here as The Other Side of the Mirror went to #3 and sold over 200,000 copies and let's be honest, it's not as good as albums such as The Wild Heart and Bella Donna. The success of Tango in the Night helped a great deal but Rooms on Fire was a great song and we as a country saw that. And we also saw her on Top of the Pops which was an almost 100% guarantee that your single would reach the top 40.

I bet Stevie kicks herself when she realises what success she could've had here. Should've, would've, could've!
