One could argue that The Killers are the most successful UK chart act of all time. At the time you're reading this there is a good chance that "Mr. Brightside" is currently in the charts.
They made their Top 40 debut in 2004 with "Somebody Told Me". It was the time when indie music was starting to take over the UK charts. No doubt many people thought The Killers were British as a result, but they hail from Las Vegas which is a place I don't imagine people to actually come from, just a place where people holiday.
This record was originally released in 2008 but finally climbed to number 40 in 2009. With "Mr. Brightside" seemingly ever present in the charts though it doesn't really matter how any other their other records are doing in the charts.
