The Second British Invasion was a sharp increase in the popularity of British synth-pop and New Pop artists in the United States.[1][2][3] It began in the summer of 1982, peaked in 1983, and continued throughout much of the 1980s. MTV began in 1981. Its popularity was the main catalyst for the second British Invasion.[4] According to Rolling Stone, British acts brought a "revolution in sound and style" to the US.[5]
During the late 1980s, glam metal and dance music replaced Second Invasion acts atop the US charts.[6][7]
