A similar question was asked about ABBA about 7 years ago. Seems they
have a following on the order of the Beatles overseas but got little
recognition here (in comparison). They wouldn't tour the US until they
had a #1 hit in the USA. This didn't happen until 1977, when Dancing
Queen hit #1 in April. I think ABBA was pretty frustrated about the
American market in general, which didn't (does it now?) favor Europop.
