Based on the lists in the canon archives. I'll keep updating as and when. Feel free to disagree about my counts or allocations.
No idea where to put the JHE: the music and Jimi profoundly American, but the other two are English, and it's in England that he made his name and the records were released first. And NIco, born in Germany, first recorded in the UK, got famous(ish) in the USA. I'm not sure Cale belongs to Wales, either, but otherwise I'd doubt they'd get represented at all before the 90s, if then.
And by default, all reggae artists lumped into JA out of ignorance on my part.
Corrections welcomed.

* I still haven't declared for 1963-66 but all my dilemmas are American, so have added one in each year
