If you judge by the best selling album of 2012 and 2013, there is "one big artist" in the UK. As I stan for the only artist that fully dominates in one of the major 3 territories, I'm sort of kinda running **** round here.
Really, though, rihannafans are bringing rise to some interesting issues.
What does it even mean to be local to the US and global because you're successful in the EU when the US is more geographically distributed and socially varied than the EU?
I know the failor stans are trying to deny it, but I know that they realize that all I'm saying is true. Local will always stay local no matter how you spin it.
