Lady Gaga is more global and everyone knows that.

Gaga. There is a reason why she has sold better than Bey WW since her debut except for the ARTPOP era. While Gaga was outselling Bey's contemporary releases by MILLIONS, it seems like Beyoncé is only able to outsell Gaga's least commercially successful era by only 500K WW

DIL, IASF and BDay all outsold every one of Gaga's eras except her debut.

Also his point is valid, is comparing Gaga at her worst with Beyoncé at her best, they are almost in the same level.

Beyoncé's best-selling album is DIL and it sold 11M (5M in the US and 6M WW).
Hell, ARTPOP was released when Gaga was into her 5th year. In 2003, Beyoncé was slaying.

Why are we talking about Japan?

Global/WW means the whole world not a specific country outside the US.

Halo was #1 in Brazil for 20 weeks.
Amor Gitano is the best selling song of all time in Spain.
IASF went 2x Diamond in Brazil.

Reading comprehension is important, I said Gaga's albums have been outselling Beyoncé's ever since she debuted except for ARTPOP. Which means:

The Fame/Monster outsold I Am...Sasha Fierce by MILLIONS worldwide.

Born This Way outsold 4 by MILLIONS worldwide.

And BEYONCÉ outsold ARTPOP by 500K worldwide.

11M????????

It didn't even pass the 9M ever, I'm gonna stop replying to you.


DIL was the only album that sold on pair WW with Gaga albums sans ARTPOP tho.

[Azealia Banks]

Gaga always.

[Gui13]

Gaga used to, not anymore. Artpop sales worldwide didn't beat 'Beyoncé's' US sales.

How is anyone still arguing Gaga

[Golden]

Lady Gaga was DEFINITELY more global during her peak. Her first era was huge and she was bigger on a global ever than any of the other pop girls, sans Adele. However, her global power has deteriorated so much since mid-way 'Born This Way'. If you take in everything - I'd say Beyoncé's worldwide impact & overall international success is much bigger than Gaga's. Especially if you look at how well SELFTITLED is still charting all over the world whilst Gaga's two latest effort are nowhere to be found. Gaga is still huge besides the U.S. borders, which is not what a lot of girls can do.

[Lucyyyyyyyyy]

Gaga but only slightly.

[Praise Mariallah]

How does being "global" do anything for anyone on here when the vast majority of ya'll are perched in some hillbilly ass state in the US?

But, are speaking on the entire world based on expired chart runs?

Maybe if you look at career gross, but Beyoncé's been in the game more than twice as long as Gaga. The Fame has sold twice as much as any Beyoncé album worldwide. I love Beyoncé and she is a global icon, but she just doesn't have the receipts as a musician.

This is the mentality the Hive has. Anyone who tells them the truth about Beyoncé is suddenly plotting against "Queen Bee" and is anti-Beyoncé. Always worshipping like she's some kind of god. I have no problem admitting Beyoncé has been influential and successful until now, but please...

Like someone else said, there's only one Beyoncé album that has sold on par with Gaga's albums WW sans ARTPOP. And let's not even discuss singles.

[Praise Mariallah]

water we even measuring globalness based on? do some markets hold precedence over other markets? Is it simply numbers?

or are ya'll just being ugly in here?
