BTINH wasn't a flop in the rest of the world. It was a consistent top 20 hit in US and #1 in South Korea

Boop

J Lo's Papi

Lifeline

All of Nelly Furtado's wonderful singles

(ok only Bucket LList was a complete flop but it got radio play)

Beyoncé's Green Light was a Top 20 hit (probably due to the Freemasons remix). The english version of Shakira's Las de la Intuición single called Pure Intuition also managed to be a Top 10 hit because of the Seat commercial.

Romaysae

Gasolina - Daddy Yankee

Kool_Aid_King

95% of Aaliyah singles

Frozen99

"One More Chance", the third single from will.i.am's flop 2007 solo album smashed hard in Peru when I was living there years ago

I was shocked to find out its only chart position in a major market was #97 in the UK

BIAATCH

Man Down, Run The World, Settle Down and Marry The Night were everywhere in my country

Girlicious seemed to be much more popular here than the country they're from
