Yes, Europe is coming online. The 80s are still wildly popular there and the age of an artist isn't as big an issue. As the world gets smaller and the USA shrinks in global influence under the current Administration, Europe will keep rising.
I've recently started working to help a Polish superstar break out in America. We've got one of the all-time great songwriters and producers involved, and the musicians she has engaged on this are the absolute best on the planet.
He's got a few english tracks on soundcloud at

and a lot of stuff on youtube in Polish.
Yet I'm a little worried because it's not "fast food" music. It's timeless artistry of deep songwriting and production skills being performed by amazing musicians....but the singer is in his 40s and everyone says that can't be done.
Guess we'll find out soon enough...
