UKs music production from the 60s-90s or so is pretty damn legendary when you think about it.

It's crazy how much American rock bands had a stranglehold on the industry for years.
Led zeppelin,pink Floyd, black Sabbath, genesis, rush. Basically all of th staples of music are American.

Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Genesis are all British bands and Rush is Canadian. So...

However, it was the music of black Americans (Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Little Richard etc) that was a huge influence on British bands such as the Stones and Beatles.

Sure. The US has a much higher population than any other English-speaking country, as stated. China is not a counter-argument to this because English is nowhere near the primary language used there.

uh, what? top songs according to...what? american culture? the american music industry, which has its grasp over everything all over the world, inserting its music into other cultures just to expose them to it?

europe and asia have had massive orchestras for much longer than american culture's been on top. some of the greatest composers in history weren't american.

Tour of the UK by black musicians in 1964, including Muddy Waters and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Classic performance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NFywQdeKSo

"The station was dressed up to look like one from the American South, but typically for Manchester, the weather did not echo that area's dustbowl conditions.
Shortly after the train which carried the audience the few miles south from Manchester's city centre pulled in, a storm lashed the station.
Mr Hamp says the downpour would have been his worst memory of the show had it not led to his best.
"Sister Rosetta came to me and asked if she could change her opening number to Didn't It Rain?," he said.
"When she strapped on her guitar, it was astounding."
Dr Lee says the "brilliant sequence where she and Cousin Joe cakewalk along the rain-soaked station" after her arrival in a carriage and her stunning version of the song was also one of his highlights."
