Article about how global Taylor is compared to other artists.

Some Artists Are Big in America, Some Internationally, and Some Are Taylor Swift
These days, it seems the answer to every question concerning pop supremacy is Taylor Swift. She makes the most money, sells the most albums, and holds the most power with tech giants. In our data dive to understand which artists appeal most to American audiences versus most Global ones, we found more evidence that Taylor Swift always wins. Even if America’s dominance of the international pop music market is supposedly declining, she is huge both in the United States and across the world.

It’s no surprise the we find Taylor Swift at the very top right. She is the sole artist to both be number one in America, as well as the top 10 in more than 20 other countries. Big-piped singers Sam Smith and Ariana Grande are the only others that came close.
Conclusion
It seems that, for many artists, pop superstardom was not as global as we expected it to be. In 2014, hip hop artists like Jeremih and Big Sean didn’t even find their way to the top 10 most streamed songs in any country but the US. Conversely, some of the world’s most popular hits in 2014, particularly dance tracks like AronChupa’s “I’m an Albratraoz,” don’t even make the top 50 most streamed songs in the US. But if there’s a single shining beacon of pop, in the adoration of which the world stands united, it’s Taylor Swift.
Oh... I see...
