This seems questionnable to me...

"(most likely hindered by the fact that many people in Ireland and the UK, like other anglophones, are reluctant to buy music in other languages)"

I don't know that this is true. I personally listen to lots of music in languages I don't understand, as well as all the languages I DO understand. The anglophones I know are no more reluctant to buy other-language music then any other linguistic group - with an exception for anglophone music, because everyone buys that. You don't see many francophones buying Russian music, for instance, and it's not because there is a shortage of Russian musicians, I can tell you that. Removed until it can be factually demonstrated that anglophones, as a population, are less willing to buy other-language music then other groups (EXCLUDING anglophone music, because it's so pervasive that everyone listens to it). It sounds too linguisto-nationalist to me.
