You've never left the US.

!!!

There are almost 200 independent countries in the world, so yes, it DOES make you local.

I guess it is.

But waiT, you said Ray Of Light wasn't local. & it went Top 10 in the same number of countries. C'mon now, Stephen.

this and the haters know it

Then how did it peak at #2 WW while only peaking at #5 in the US? It was clearly bigger outside the US than in it.

Puerto Rico is a part of the US.

chart wise yeah

Wasn't born there either.

Yes you were. I was there.

It is local comparable to its US success, #1 US songs tend to go #1 in several countries and SL being that HUGE in the US but only going top 10 in 9 countries makes it local. If I Were a Boy had more impact around the World

Single Ladies peaked & stayed at #3 for multiple weeks. Big in the US & out.

omg i thought it hit #1 al over the world.

OK chartwise it is. BUT impact wise....i think it was career defining for Beyonce.

Question, would you say Disturbia was local? Looking at its year-end placements & certifications.
