Line 13:
* [[Hello! Project]] in America? Good luck compared to [[Girls' Generation]] or hell most K-Pop groups which had saw American exposure via their labels and English versions of their songs, none of Hello Project's bands have ever had an english version of their songs let alone appear in western shores.
* Boy Band N*SYNC had several singles that were only released in Europe, eg "You Drive Me Crazy", "Together Again", and "I'll Never Stop".
* Live outside the US or UK and want to buy [[
* [[Duran Duran]]'s ninth studio album, ''Medazzaland'', was never released in the UK. In fact it was only released in a handful of markets, notably the United States, Japan and Argentina. Indeed, The album's minor American hit single "Electric Barbarella" hasn't even made an appearance on any sort of greatest hits record that had a European release.
* There are many artists that exclusively cater to [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|certain overseas countries]] such as Japan, and thus their stuff is unheard of in their home country.
Line 19:
* Chicane's early single "Strong in Love" unfortunately never got a stateside release in any form.
* Until the advent of digital distribution, most Italo-disco songs suffered from this, due to the [[Dead Horse Music Genre|backlash against disco]] in the US.
* Universal Records in Russia seemingly authorized a CD release of the leaked Eminem EP "Straight from the Lab", complete with a number of bonus tracks (such as the otherwise unavailable "Explosion" and some obviously fan-made remixes), as its seven tracks would have barely constituted an 'album.' Despite the fact that full scans of this album can be found online, and the entire disc (including bonus tracks) is offered on Russian [[
* [[Foo Fighters]] inverted the trope when they released the song ''Generator'' as a full single only in Australia (the only other place was England where it only went on sale for a week) and thus became relatively more popular there than it is in the rest of the world. The band itself plays into the trope because Generator is played almost every time they play a live show in Australia.
** Same with ''Stacked Actors'', except no where but Australia got it as a single. Again, quite popular and often played in Australian concerts.
Line 27:
* [[Paul McCartney]]'s 1988 cover album ''Снова в СССР'' (English: ''Back in the USSR'') is an intentional example. McCartney intended the album to only have a release in the Soviet Union so Russian fans could have a new official album all to themselves, as they had often had to make do with bootlegs of Western albums. For a few years, it was - in a bit of a role reversal - rather difficult to get a copy of the record outside of the Soviet Union, until the record was given an international release in late 1991.
* [[Richard Wagner]]'s ''Parsifal'' was not allowed to be produced outside Bayreuth or the United States (the latter only saw performances of it due to a court ruling from 1903 that allowed the New York Metropolitan Opera to perform it unabridged, though Wagner's family subsequently blacklisted those involved from performing in Bayreuth) as long as it remained in copyright.
* Looking for the maxi/remix single to The Wanted's "Heart Vacancy"? Sorry, not available in the American Itunes or Amazon [[
