Katy is such an American phenomenon.

Yes, she is really huge in America. She started out very local, she is just now starting to get small certifications across the world.

It's interesting because Rihanna dominates Europe in general, and it's major market, the UK. Gaga dominates Asia, and it's major market, Japan. Katy dominates the major American-influenced markets (Australia, Canada etc.) and the biggest market, the USA.

Probably because Katy's music is very Western-influenced than Rihanna's and Gaga's.

Loud has also been certified 3x Platinum in Canada for sales of 240,000, 3x Platinum in Poland (though I don't know how many copies that equates to), 2x Platinum in Australia for sales of 140,000, and 2x Platinum in Europe for sales of 2 million.

This is true. Even though she does really well in the UK too, Rihanna simply has too much following there. She basically gets America and what other moderate markets are left. Her third biggest market after the USA and UK is easily Australia. Her tour did very well there too.

Not counting Gaga as huge in the USA is dumb. She stil slays Rihanna and Katy on album sales there.

Idk if it still is Australia for her, though. I spoke to some Australian people both on and off ATRL, and they've all said that she's extremely overexposed there, since she's always in the news and Loud did extremely well. This is made most evident by the fact that TTT didn't absolutely smash in Australia. Her reception is more lukewarm this era by comparison. The LGOE Tour did do well there, though.
I think her third market would probably be either Canada or France, where she's starting to make more waves. Loud did nicely in France.
Overall, Gaga appeals most to Asia this era with her sound and image, Rihanna appeals most to Europe this era with her sound and image (same with Loud), and Katy appeals most to America with her sound and image. It's pretty simple, really.

Gaga's main market this era is Japan, though. She's still huge in Europe, Australia, and the US, but it's undeniable that Katy has taken over the US and that Rihanna has taken Europe by storm.

Well US is the largest market and I live here, so whatever. I don't care if she's not doing amazing in other countries, she's still doing well.

Gaga's most impressive numbers come from Japan out of the three, Katy's from the USA, and Rihanna's from the UK. Not only that, but her singles also perform better there regularly. She's overall a bigger act in the US as far as sales are concerned, which is what this is about.

She does do well WW, just not as much as the other girls. Her numbers are more impressive in Australia, New Zealand, and whatever else is under her name.

Gaga is way bigger than the other two in Latin America.

Receipts? I'll need them to certain countries so I can compare them to Rihanna's and Katy's. Korean, can you post Rihanna's sales for Latin America since your sales are more accurate than what I can find probably.

Yeah. Since TTT is so new I thought it would be the most fair to use TD, LOUD, and BTW.
