	On the Canadian 31 million album, you should accept only the last name. (You do on the 32 million album from the same act.) Other than that, great list!

	Very surprised that the Stones aren't on the list.

	Carlos Santana is Mexican born, but based in the US, and the band Santana definitely includes Americans. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack wasn't just Bee Gees, it also had a number of American acts like Kool & the Gang. Neither should be here by the stated standard.

	Thanks. I appreciate the suggestions. I've revised my criteria, which means I've added an additional artist.

	The "Rumours" incarnation of Fleetwood Mac was 40% American (Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks are both American). I guess 3/5 is "most", but perhaps a hint that it's a British/American band would have been helpful.
