She just isn't as global as other artists.

It is what it is.

waits...

giRLbye.

What does only being available on itunes have to do with anything?? If global interest was not there, she wouldn't have made it to #1 in half those countries.

I will stay in this thread since Taylor is projected to match the Mrs Carter World Tour, even though Beyoncé played 43 more shows

It isn't a matter of whether she's more, or less, global than the next artist. There are several artists who aren't as global as several, other artists. It still doesn't take away from the fact that she is (which some of you can't seem to admit to without backhanded compliments or comparisons to other artists). It doesn't work that way

some probably forgot that the global release date changed afterwards AND because of ST its impact.. dementia is truly awful.

Btw, wasnt it exposed that Beys single-stats including DC make her the most successful artist on UWC from 2000-2010 on a global scale (chartwise btw!!!!!!)? How is that possible for a local act to achieve? No comprendo.

People call Taylor local, yet 1989 has sold nearly double outside the US than BEYONCÉ did.

Her singles bombed outside the US as well

Why you don't compare IASF to 1989 since both are pop albums?

Why would you compare album sales from 2009 to 2014?

Why would you compare two albums of different genre? Especially when ST only have one "pop" song.

Because this thread claims Beyoncé is a global force, yet most people consider Taylor local even though 1989 has almost doubled ST outside the US and has more than doubled it when the US is taken into consideration

Why would you compare an urban album to a pop album? don't play dumb.

IASF sold 2x more outside of the USA than 1989. DIL too.

So she went from 6m outside the US to 2.3m to 1.4m

The Hive doesn't label Taylor as local, they're on the exact same ship with their fave. Go take it up with the flop stanbases who's "global" favorites are barely even scanning gold and can't even have a decent tour now a days.

Rather than deflecting shade Taylor has received, onto Beyoncé, it should just be a lesson to you that neither are local; but if this is your only way of getting your point across (despite Taylor not being the initial topic of discussion), then k

But we're not the one calling Taylor local

She went from pop, to r&b, to urban, but even so she will never have a local album like Taylor's debut that sold 500k outside of the USA

I've learned to not take anything seriously pertaining to Bey on this site lmao. Here I was thinking how local, unimportant, etc she was, but then you see article after article, hear people talking over and over again about her. Her name is associated with greatness, she's the kind of legendary every fanbase outside of Madonna's dreams of their fave having lol poor all her haters, forreal, it must suck
