Yes i read Alexz comment but where can i find that data.

If we were to take grossly approximated numbers, both Rih and Bey have sold 30M albums worldwide. For Rih, 10M come from the US, for bey, 20M come from the US.

I think it's indubitable that Beyonce is not as global as her peers.

Beyoncé is USA + UK + Netherlands based these days.

Shakira is HUGE in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Muslim world. My friends from India and Thailand told me growing up the only pop girls they all knew and loved where Britney and Shakira. Destiny's Child did not exist. Local R&B neanderthals! LOL KII

J.Lo's top cities: Mexico City, Santiago, Madrid, Paris, Sao Paolo.


Kind of the same as they are the most populated cities on Earth.

Britney was big in India and China.

Bruce Springsteen's top cities: Stockholm, London, Oslo, Manhattan and Mexico City.

2014 Forest Hills Drive is kinda better than TLOP

Shakira is the Beyonce of Latin America but global so.. Poor that.

Shakira is bigger than Beyoncé everywhere except USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and Ireland.

It's funny how Shakira barely acknowledges her Lebanese roots besides that one concert when all her dance moves and her face are 100% Lebanese lol

Perhaps being Colombian is more profitable than being Lebanese.

She probably would be able to break into the US market if she acknowledged us more.

greatest pop song of all time

"About" section.

Agreed.

Didn't her Lebanese dad grow up in SA? If so, makes sense then.

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
The painful youth I've had
Have you seen my childhood

ugh this legend

Why? She already broke the US market but they decided to dispose her.

Shakira should stop recording in English. It's just embarrassing at this stages.

Because Lebanon is more Americanized than Colombia
