So, I was browsing some articles and I noticed that most of what I've read today, may it be an object or person, are RIDICULOUSLY popular everywhere except United States.
Here's some examples of what we call semi-Global Phenomena
1.) THALIA - popular for her telenovelas reaching more than 180 countries - MariMar, Rosalinda, Maria la del Barrio and Maria Mercedes
2.) ANASTACIA - hitting #1 in EU countries and the ASia-Pacific but her highest charting single in the US is at #92 (she's American)
3.) ASEREJE and that ketchup dance!
4.) Meteor Garden
5.) 3 Idiots
6.) BIG BROTHER - US has its own version and it's successful but it was never a phenomenon like it is in most countries where it has a local franchise.
Anything else gorls. I'm sure there's still a lot...
