It's true. Many European markets are small and irrelevant. Germany and the UK are the most notable ones, and Taylor does quite well in the UK. She has 6 top 10s there and 3 top ten albums (only Red went number 1). SIO is still selling well there (currently #3 of iTunes) without any kind of traditional delayed single release schedule.

It doesn't matter that she doesn't slay France or Spain, when those countries have smaller music markets than Australia, Canada, Japan, the UK, and China, all countries where she does well.

It's still a very important area to succeed retail wise regardless...no need to horribly attempt to drag Europe.

She is not local.
She is just not as global as Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce and P!nk.
Taylor is just as global as Katy. Taylor is huge in USA, Canada, Australia + NZ and Asia, Katy is huge in the same areas but instead of Asia, Europe. ( Taylor is also popular in some Europe countries however) ...

Didn't she sell 2M copies of (each) Fearless and Red outside of the US?
That's the average that Rihanna sells with her albums and some people call her the most global artist of the moment...

Katy is way more global than Pink lol

Pink is irrelevant outside of Europe and the Anglosphere

France and Spain are way bigger than Australia and Canada, just because your fave is local doesn't mean Europe is a irrelevant continent (when actually it is the biggest continent in the music market)

Spain ain't bigger than Aus and Can. No continent is irrelevant but what people are trying to say is Europe isn't the only continent that exists outside the states and yet you still get these Europeans saying "they are local because they are not big here!!"

Lol sorry but P!nk's last album has outsold Katy's in almost every country outside the US maybe with the exception of Mexico and Katy will find it difficult to outsell P!nk in the US & the UK without a re-release.
