I find it funny how high people put Taylor, compared to how small she is outside the US Wasn't this list supposed to include globalness? (or what ever you call it)
Style and Shake It Off are kind of slaying Cambodia right now, while Blank Space and 1989 are doing the same in Malaysia. The nerve to deny her global power.
people genuinely think Taylor is a nobody outside of the U.S. when she's moved as many copies (probably more) of album as their global faves outside of the U.S. (am Talking about Red and 1989 obviously. The fact that her local country albums have sold this much is already impressive.)
I agree with the list except Rihanna is missing from the list. Overall a good list.
Japan, Cambodia, Malaysia <<<<<<<< Europe.
And again, if I'm denying her "GLOBAL POWER!!!11!1!1" why are her touring reciepts so bad? Taylor remains low on my list, so super stan (Katy hater) Dollas N Diamonds
