Oh wow, so Taylor was slaying singles sales and album sales
No wonder she's the #1 GLOBAL artist
Taylor her power!

No she wasn't, there's a reason why you separated the argument and the Taylor part

Shake It Off not even top10 while Meghan's monster smash is. I guess ATRL was right when they called SIO a payola-fueled non-event.

Shake it Off had only 4 months in 2014.

It's not Taylor's fault her single had longevity.

Meanwhile some other singles like Dark Horse had almost the whole year. With those massive streaming points of course it's #2. In reality it barely sold 8M copies WW.

EDIT : Oh, the tracking period is from Dec '13 - Nov '14? That means SIO had only 3 months, while Dark Horse had 12 months.

4 months is not an excuse though, Roar did 9.9 million in 2013.

What's the point tho?

Yes, Taylor is a monster in US, her album sales in US > the other girls WW sales.

But she is still local.

According to MediaTraffic (a source the majority of ATRL uses)

1989 sold 2.4M copies outside the US & PRISM sold 1.9M copies outside the US.

How is she local if she sold more than Katy outside her country

As usual celebrating inflated recipes. Too bad you can't inflate album sales

And it also had less streams and I remember 2014 told me SIO was just as global, guess he was wrong after all!

DH remains the biggest female song of 2014

Meghan's song was out for longer and was available on spotify.

Please use your brain before posting.

Yaaaas gl0bal horse!

Looking back @ my posts, there was argument on DH. I even said it was a huge hit
The "argument" (I'd say discussion but w/e) started when I said why katy wasn't the #1 artist but w/e

YAS Tay #1 global artist.
Lorde, Ed, Little Monster Sam Smith slaying too

[♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚]

w0w @Happy slaying the hardest. Biggest song and the fact that it's a solo song!
King Pharell his power!

And bigger global hits, streaming, tour, etc.

Katy IS more global.

We are talking about DH here, but okay.

- Roar had an additional week
- Shake it Off lost a few weeks on Spotify due to Taylor removing her music

Basically SIO probably lost one whole month. And that makes a huge difference.

Especially compared to DH, when DH had both Spotify (+ all other streaming services), while SIO had only Youtube.
