Yup. Imagine competing with Norah Jones in 2004 - that's how massive she was and even outsold her in some European territories including UK, Germany and Switzerland 

why was she not successful in the US? How did she become successful in europe?

A question that is still being studied today.

 

The irony being she is an American woman
