Country & Western is immensely popular in the US but surely mostly within its own market as regards singles.

Obviously there are major crossover hits but it seems to me the proportion is relatively small.

Sorry is a pleasant enough song if not a blockbuster - it did moderately well in the UK but at that time if Diana had recited a couple of verses from the Bible she had enough of a fan base who would have bought it to put it on the lower rungs of the chart.

All the more astonishing when her next release - although it was a year later - Do You Know Where You're Going To completely bombed.
