Nope sorry guys no one yet, and the question is simply this:
As big as the Beatles became in the USA, who was just as big in the UK?

Persona non grata
I think that people are confused by the question Fox.
Does it mean an American group popular in England or does country of origin matter?
Also are we taking contemporaries of the Fab Four or any era?
Going by the criteria American group popular in Britain at the same time that the Beatles invaded the US, I''d say The Beach Boys.

The Beach Boys were never as big as The Beatles in the UK.
Granted, there was a firm, artistic rivalry, which helped both bands creatively but as far as record sales go, The Beatles kicked Brian Wilson's arse from here to the moon.
Agreed, the question is mental and unless he wants to rephrase it, you'd have to be an autistic savant to get the answer. An autistic savant who can read minds over the interweb.

Fucking ambiguous question, if you ask me.
Big in what way?
I mean, Spice Girls & Westlife both had more consecutive number one singles than The Beatles in the UK but their sales don't compare at all and album success for both is inferior by far.

It's not really complicated, if you were around living when the Beatles were around then I guess you'd understand better, sorry...
I'm talking about everything that represents the fame and popularity of the Beatles, whatever you know of or can think of, SIMPLY put, the Beatles were BIG in the USA during their time...
So as big as the Beatles were, popular, successful, a band that brought change to to the face of music, everything they were and did, etc...
There is a band that was just as big as they were in all the ways they were in the UK.
Ok we go it now?
And no one has got it right yet, so keep digging boys and girls...
PEACE
