In February 2021, Ken Barnes, a former "USA Today" radio writer, analyzed American musical acts' success before and during the Invasion in an article for "Radio Insight" attempting to confirm or debunk the claim that the British Invasion devastated American music. In his analysis, he noted that several of the acts whose careers were decimated by the Invasion—among them Bobby Vee, Neil Sedaka, Dion and Elvis Presley—eventually made comebacks after the Invasion waned. Others, such as Bill Anderson and Bobby Bare, remained successful in the country realm, even as their pop crossover success had waned. Barnes noted that one record company, Cameo Parkway, sustained more permanent damage from the Invasion (and the concurrent rise of Motown) than any other, but also noted that it was also affected by another event that happened the same week as the Beatles' arrival: "American Bandstand", which had been based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where Cameo Parkway was based and drew many of its performers from Cameo Parkway, moved to Los Angeles. In summation, he noted that a plurality of the alleged victims of the Invasion (42% of all American hit music acts of 1963) were already seeing diminishing returns in 1963 before the Invasion began; 24% of American acts that year saw their success continue through the invasion, such as the Beach Boys and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons; 14% were the likes of Sedaka, Vee and Presley in that they suffered during the Invasion but recovered afterward; and 20% suffered fatal damage to their careers because of it (with Barnes stating that 7% of American acts—mostly Cameo Parkway acts and folk revival groups—were wiped out almost entirely due to the Invasion, and the other 13% had the Invasion as one of several reasons for their declines). Stylistically, the proportions of American music being made did not change substantially during the Invasion, even as the British acts flooded the charts with a homogenous pop-rock sound; folk, country and novelty music, already small factors in the overall pop realm, dropped to near-nonexistence, while girl groups were also hard hit.
