*-ChriZ-* Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 As far as I can remember, NZ is usually always the first country to embrace a new Pop song with smash potential which eventually starts dominating the World. Can we agree that the Kiwis have the best taste when it comes to Pop music and that New Zealand should be considered prophets of Pop smashery?

Aramis Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Yep. Since early 10' has been like that. I remember pop singles smashing hard there and then taking the world weeks or months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotye Somebody That I Used to Know was an instant smash in both Australia and NZ and hit #1 on 2011 before catching up on 2012 globally. Edit: Men at Work Down Under hit #1 in Dec 1981 (Australia) and Jan-Feb 1982 (NZ) before being a global hit from 1983.
