japan is actually the biggest in revenue but it is always ignored for convenience and because it's the hardest market to break thru

yes, true, Europe has the most reliable markets for Western artists but even a lot of the time the US, the #1 market in the world for western artists, is often ignored or disregarded in local vs global arguments for the sake of simply praising the ability to chart high in a number of irrelevant Euro countries like Slovakia, Poland & some other ****. it's stupid & solely using charting positions to prove "overall globalness" only makes said supporters of the whole "global" thing look stupid when their "more global" fave is outgrossed by someone more "local" on a WW scale by a significant margin.
but anyway BEYSUS went #1 in like 106 markets so that's not a Beyhive problem anymore. Sales, tour gross & acclaim hihihi
