Most music you hear on the radio these days is from the American music scene. A HUGE selection of American artists from all genres, ranging from hip hop, to rock to pop, can be heard.
For an Aussie band like Short Stack, (their video “Princess” shown above) getting airplay on the radio is hard, especially when they have to compete with many popular American artists like Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Eminem, just to name a few.
Australian artists like Kisschasy, Silverchair and Guy Sebastian all have acheived success overseas too, as well as having a strong Aussie fan base, despite the competition. This just shows that Australian bands can be just as appreciated as any other artist from any other country.
Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian, has been so well recieved in America that many popular American artists have made appearances in his videos and songs. This can lead to much exposure on American radio, which boots his musical career.
Silverchair had also announced an American tour in 2007, and according to alternativeaddiction.com, the band "... sold out some New York, Los Angeles and Toronto shows within minutes."
