I'm still trying to find the post in which I said she was local.



Mess

I was just pointing out how the Ratio argument is pointless and not an indicator of how global someone is.

Born This Way: 668,000 - 2,000,000 = 1,332,000 copies sold outside of the United States.
Red: 1,210,000 - 1,500,000 = 290,000 copies sold outside of the United States.

United States: 300,000,000 people. The Rest of the World: 7,700,000,000.

And Taylor's fans are coming for Gaga, why? I mean, I deducted Amazon to make it better for y'all
Just be happy for your fave and leave Gaga out of this, ok thanks.

A mess

WW? If WW, I think either AKB48 or Utada have that record.

Red is gonna outsell BTW WW. And that makes the monsters furious because Gaga is supposedly a "global superstar" whereas Taylor is "local".

Do the math yourself. Still 3x+ taylor, which was his point. Taylor fans shouldn't be coming after Gaga's global success.

the point is Gaga's been on her THIRD MAJOR INTERNATIONAL RELEASE.


This would be Taylor's FIRST MAJOR INTERNATIONAL RELEASE

Nevermind, Black & Blue by the Backstreet Boys did better. Reading 5m somewhere, is that correct?

Idk but she'd probably have a better chance at it than Singleanna

I am not defending Taylor. I was just trying to be fair. I agree with the ones saying she's local.

[Poisonous]

Well done Taylor

Wait in America or worldwide? The N'Sync numbers were first week sales in the US.

[Feather]

Wow, I knew Taylor was local but not THAT local.

200/300k of it was outside of the U.S?

She's like Lil Wayne. I was impressed by Lil Wayne's first week sales, but when I found out like 10,000 was outside of the U.S I was like

Oh, I thought we were talking about WW. Hahaha

[thediscomonkey]

You guys, the Red promo for WW is just about to start tbh.

[muddysquirrel]

I get your point with this "local" mess but when we talk about Taylor she really should have another term for it. US-heavy? Because her WW selling power is on par with gurls who are considered global.
