EJ--As to Hendrix' American hits--I didn't mean that he had none--AATW was the only one that made the top 20--the others didn't even make the top 40--Purple Haze peaked at 65! Fire never even made the charts--the American Pop Charts we are talking about here the "Billboard Hot 100"(not including any of the other charts, since many of the one-hit-wonders actually charted a few times on the R&B and C&W charts, or on the old "Bubbling Under" Chart) and the British Charts would be whatever it is that Paul Gambaccini and Tim Rice use for their British Hit Singles book(the sources changed over the years). Back in the 60's, in the States, a lot of very popular music didn't get played a lot on top 40 radio, but did get played on FM radio--that stuff never made the pop charts--

Also, in order to chart, stuff had to be getting airplay and sales nationally--which means that there are a lot of records that were regional hits that never made the Pop charts, and there are even records that were popular in one part of the country one week, in another part another week, and never made the charts at all--
