Never broke America


Probably the brightest UK pop star never to break America (her only top 40 single in the US was Running up that hill reaching no.30) which was odd as Kate often made pop videos for the MTV generation and had active singles and albums whilst the second British invasion was going on.

I'm sure if she had toured the US, she'd soon pick up fans but unfortunately Kate didn’t tour for 35 years after her first stab at touring in the late seventies.

MTV can't have aired her videos enough, which is a shame - Americans of my generation don't know what they missed!

She wasn't a pop star in America, but she was a fixture on the college or "alternative" charts in the 1980s.
