The Smiths were certainly bigger in the UK than elsewhere, but they were not limited to the UK. Of the five original albums, one made #1 in the UK album chart, and the others all #2, but they also made the US top 60 (Strangeways, Here We Come), the Canadian top 30 (second two studio albums), the German top 40 (Strangeways, Here We Come). The Queen is Dead and Louder Than Bombs went Gold in the US.
