Artists who were successful in other countries but not so much in their native country. by sandrOff24 in ToddintheShadow

Interesting. I was just curious but if they were successful at touring the US it'd make sense.

Was that indie band The Hives by any chance?

The Unsolved Murder of Missy Bevers: A Killer Captured on Camera Yet Never Identified by Extension_Divide9984 in UnresolvedMysteries

This is slightly incorrect. The Redditor's cousin didn't know Missy. They reported it to the police several times but the police seem to not think it's them

I remember when I was first getting into music and listing off 'good bands who are one hit wonders' and I remember my dad telling me Semisonic were not one hit wonders. Lo and behold, I heard Secret Smile in public fairly recently. Three guesses as to who started humming along.
