Almost every nation has a Susan Boyle but it's mainly those from the UK and the US which seem to count. Why the hell would anyone care for Princess Diana's niece and why is she even in the newspapers in other countries? Why is Emma Watson so overhyped?
The Beatles, like Elvis, were (unlike Michael Jackson) not true international artists. They were limited mostly to certain parts of the world. Michael Jackson was the first true international artist since Beethoven. However, the Beatles and crap like that is still being honored as a universal cultural heritage, their music is being sent into space probes headed for other solar systems.
If a british kid takes third place in an international chess contest, all the world must know about it, but if a russian or something else has been winning chess contests since the age of 9, it's generally unknown in the west.
The value of british designer goods and the quality of british restaurants is being hyped up through anglo-axis media. In return, the brits hype the american and to a degree australian culture as well.
US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zeeland are the anglo conspiracy. Whenever a fat, unemployed ugly bitch from those countries has a cat which can tap dance, the world MUST KNOW. For some reason.
In fact I think the value of english speaking culture overall is hugely overvalued and kept floating through a huge amount of white trash people in the UK, US and Australia buying each other's products, and through the anglo media inflating the culture and economy.
The anglo dominance is an illusion.
