I think she's fairly treated.

She's not as global as Gaga or Rihanna but she's not as local as Taylor Swift or Jay Z.

Idk why you're dragging Taylor into this but she's definitely more global than Beyoncé. Her latest release is never going to outsell RED in OR outside the US for example.

Not you bringing irrelevant iTunes positions in irrelevant countries

Important countries where BEYONCE is still charting on the official charts:

Australia #33
The Netherlands #76
US #72
New Zealand #21

So no. Beyonce is just not that global

[EdgeOfAddiction]

No. The Hive and all its bandwagoner have been praising her to the high heavens since the surprise release of B5.

[Superpower]

Let them say she's local when the reality is that she's more famous than their faves.
Bey is laughing all the way to the bank thanks to her WORLDWIDE tour.

And do you have info on the smaller countries where Beyoncé is charting in the top 10 digitally?

I refuse to believe that the digital number 1 album in a country can't chart in the top 200.

100%.
Only ATRL would call Beyonce local but Katy Perry global
I'm sure you guys know my story of when I went to Africa and I asked if they like Katy Perry and they thought I said do you like cutting berries

No one was talking about fame or touring? We're discussing album sales.

RED is more successful than any Beyoncé album in the US and WW, though?

Praising Bey's talent has nothing to do with her being the most global star in the world.
Bey has been global since Destiny's Child.
We all know this. This discussion really needs to be retired.

paid downloads are nothing. People forget that the Queen has been here for soon 2 decades. Their faves are still trying to catch on her DC days popularity. Her solo career is untouchable. I mean the girl outsold your faves without many #1s and promo. There must be a problem

Most of those small countries don't even have charts. Outside of a few major markets, iTunes is irrelevant when it comes to album sales.

After "Hide small countries," she's top 40 in three countries:

Album: BEYONCÉ
#23 Sweden
#26 Philippines
#34 Canada

That's like 300 copies at best from those three countries put together.

I'm not dragging Taylor, I just said Beyoncé is not as local as she is.

This is not about how big Red was, this is about how about 80% of Taylor's sales comes from the US, that's what makes her local.

No, she's super overrated

So you guys are going to ignore everything else but only focus on album sales to call Beyoncé local?
And still, I don't understand why she's supposed to be local when she's selling what the other girls (who are considered global) are selling and with less effort.
She has also outsold Shakira, Britney and JLo who ATRL considers more global than Beyoncé.
I don't even know why I bothered entering this thread.
Bye Felicia.
