Seven years ago, German glam rockers Tokio Hotel seemed on the verge of conquering America: They'd just won an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, and their English-language debut Scream was hotly anticipated. And then they just kind of fizzled out. Scream debuted at Number 39 on the Billboard 200, and 2009's Humanoid entered the charts just as meekly. However, perhaps thanks to their oddly misspelled band name, the group has been killing it in Japan. Despite a long hiatus, Tokio Hotel also still has a large following in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Apparently it's just Americans who didn't want to check into the Hotel for any prolonged period of time.

20 nagyon n�pszer� zen�sz, akinek (m�g) nem siker�lt bet�rnie az USA-ban

H�t �vvel ezel�tt �gy t�nt, hogy a n�met glam rocker banda, a Tokio Hotel a hat�r�n �ll annak, hogy megh�d�tsa Amerik�t: �ppen akkor nyert�k meg a Legjobb �j M�v�sznek j�r� MTV Video Music Award d�j�t �s az angol nyelv� deb�t�l� albumukat, a Scream-et nagy elv�r�sok el�zt�k meg. �s akkor egyszer�en nem j�tt �ssze nekik. A Scream a 39. helyen nyitott a 200-as Billboard list�n, �s a 2009-es Humanoid albumuk hasonl�an gyeng�n szerepelt. Azonban, tal�n a furcs�n �rt nev�knek k�sz�nhet�en Jap�nban hatalmas sikert arattak. Egy hossz� sz�net ellen�re, a Tokio Hotelnek m�g mindig j�kora rajong�t�bora van Eur�p�ban, Latin Amerik�ban �s �zsi�ban. �gy t�nik, hogy csak az amerikaiak azok, akik az�ta sem akarnak bejelentkezni a Hotelbe.
