Hi Maneza F8 and welcome to the site! Stack Exchange is a little different from other websites --we're not really a forum for discussions, so open ended questions aren't a good fit here. We're really looking primarily for questions that potentially have one, well-defined answer, not list questions. For instance: "Which non-US rappers have appeared on the US Billboard music charts?" — Chris Sunami, Jun 13 '19 at 19:00
Top all time selling artists include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, AC/DC, Pink Floyd... probably more Rest Of The World than US. — Bebs, Jun 14 '19 at 07:07
Elton john was on my mind when I was asking this question and artists like Adele, Ed Sheeran and the likes of Bob Marley. — Maneza F8, Jun 14 '19 at 08:19

AC/DC has probably made the biggest impact that is not from the USA

Check YouTube for them. If you like Hard Rock, you'll like them. :) – SkyPaul Jun 14 '19 at 11:06
