I'm from New Zealand and I'd say Britney is pretty irrelevant here (compared to her success in the rest of the world).
Same goes for Australia. I mean, she's had heaps of top ten singles here, but they plummet really quickly. I also don't hear her on the radio that often. People loose interest in her fast. HIAM and TTWE both went top 10 here, but the following 2 singles haven't done nearly as well. IWG reached #32, which is pretty disappointing, and Criminal is yet to make a decent impact on the charts at all.
It's not about knowing the artist, it's about the artist being popular in the country.
And you're wrong. Whenever I check iTunes on other countries, Adele's 21 has been a very good seller there in Mexico Has she ever left the Top 10?
Exactly! I didn't say Beyonce sells tons of albums here in Mexico.. what i said was "everyone knows who she is"!! and yes Adele is selling everywhere in the world, do people actually knows who she is? NO! they just know shes a brit with overweight that sings too good for mainstream!
btw.. i don't stan for Bey at all.. i'm just being a fair real hoe!

Criminal hasn't even charted here at all, and I don't think it will
Hmm This is a hard one because most of the artists nowadays are pretty popular around here.
I really wanted to say one but all that comes to my mind are soo knowned
