Which British music export made the rest of the world sit up and listen the most?
From Merseybeat to grime, Britain has a knack for sending its sound across the globe. Time to rank the exports that truly conquered foreign shores.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
The Beatles
They didn't just cross the Atlantic, they invaded it. Beatlemania set the template for every British act that followed.
B
Adele
She made the world cry into their pillows and sing into their hairbrushes. Global chart domination with a Tottenham accent.
C
The Rolling Stones
Sympathy for the Devil, satisfaction for the masses. Mick and Keith turned British blues into a worldwide religion.
D
Ed Sheeran
Whether you love him or find him inescapable at weddings, his global numbers are frankly ridiculous.
E
Stormzy
From Croydon to headlining Glastonbury and topping charts abroad, he put UK rap firmly on the world map.
