Ratios are pointless if the artist isn't that successful in certain areas. Rihanna gets called global by the fomos because she's never been a true force in the US so her album sales internationally obviously appear bigger even when in actual numbers they aren't that great.
Didn't Red sell 2 million outside the US? Unapologetic did 2.5 million outside the US. One is super local, the other is super global? Lmao.
That Maroon 5 album was given away with tickets as well (and counted towards Billboard, like MDNA)
Poor parasite preaching about art when it can barely compete with Flo Rida (although Flo Rida is superior considering his single sales actually match the amount of radio payola).

Rihanna is global because she has albums that have sold extremely well in Asia, America, Europe (the continents where we have sales data) at once. Taylor hasn't got that and neither has Katy and Beyonce. That's why they are never truly global.
Yes 1989 did 300K (400?) first week outside the US, but how much of that came from outside of the 3/4 countries where she excels?
