I'm not saying the dude is Elvis, but I'm still baffled how so many people don't know who he is.

I've thought the same. There are plenty of singers I don't think I've heard any of their songs. but I know who they are.
shareExactly. I can't name one Luther Vandross song but know who he is even though he died 20 hears ago.
shareI genuinely pity you for not at least knowing Never Too Much.

Nope. But I'm sure there are songs of his that I heard but don't know it's him.
shareProbably. I think I'd be the same. Never Too Much is an absolute classic and I know So Amazing from some Now compilation when I was a kid. After that...
Although, I was surprised to learn last night that he was also singer in Chic.
Never made much impact in the USA, did he? So they don't know who he is. Because when it comes to things happening beyond their own borders, most Americans are like an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon Basin.
😆
shareHe even had that song with Nicole Kidman to raise his popularity which was a cover of two Americans artists.

Ah, yeah. Nicole. I'd forgotten about that one.
Of course, I prefer the one he did with the other Aussie. And that's purely based on a musical assessment and nothing whatsoever to do with fancying Kylie a lot more than I fancy Nicole Kidman. I'd never be that shallow. *whistles*
I believe this is the first I've heard of him.
shareHe's not a rapper so America ain't interested. I suggest the people screaming "we don't know who that is" use Google and if they haven't heard of that use Ask Jeeves.
shareSo sorry your washed up late 90's pop star isn't a worshipped idol in the USA. Hell, he's SO WELL KNOWN in the UK that he had to make himself into a monkey as a selling point...and it STILL BOMBED.
shareHe was known outside the UK. From Wikipedia:
share
Five of his albums have also topped the Australian albums chart, and has sold 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
According to Billboard, he is the 117th best selling artist of all time. I mean, that's great and all, but hardly the juggernaut Brits and Ozzies are making him out to be. Ayumi Hamasaki is the 104th best selling artist of all time, where's her biopic? Did you know she's a her? What?! You haven't heard of her?? Y'know the world exists outside of the UK, right???
shareDoesn't Billboard only count sales in the USA?
shareI think hes Robin Williams son
