Hit Parade: The British Are Charting Edition Part 1
b'Before 1964, British bands couldn\\u2019t get anywhere on the U.S. charts. Then suddenly, after a certain Fab Four broke, they were everywhere. By 1965, they had locked down our Top 10.\\n\\nIn 1981, a new generation of U.K. acts armed with synthesizers were largely shut out of the Hot 100 once again. But then a new video channel called MTV changed the game\\u2014helped by some very pretty men in dapper suits. By 1983, half of the U.S. Top 40 had a British accent.\\n\\nWhat did these two movements have in common, besides screaming fans and impressive hair? Join Chris Molanphy as he dissects these two bloodless coups that rebooted our hit parade. These Invasions were about as easy as a nuclear war.\\n\\nPodcast production by Kevin Bendis.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nMake an impact this Earth Month by helping Macy\\u2019s on their mission to bring more parks to more people across the country.
