I'm sorry but 1989 is a non event outside the US, none of the singles are iconic hits

He tries so hard to hate on Taylor. It's embarrassing.
1989 is bigger and will continue to grow.

So you're basically saying 1989 is bigger than Sasha worldwide because it sold more copies in the US, despite Sasha brutally outselling it in nearly every other continent besides Asia?

Despite the sales decline in 7 years:
America: 1989
Asia: 1989
Oceania: 1989
Could you stop lying?
And I'm not saying anything, I'm just teaching you what "worldwide" means since you clearly ignore it.

NOT.
Anyway, of course IASF era was bigger. Beyonce is bigger than Taylor and will always be.

You're not taking into account the fact that sales have decreased tremendously since 2008, and 1989 has been out for 8 months as opposed to Sasha's 7 years, so no, this is not definitive proof by any means.

South America: Sasha
Europe: Sasha
Africa: Sasha
Now the thing is, 1989 and Sasha stats are close in Oceania and Asia (80-100k difference) whereas 1989 was demolished in Europe and SA 
Sasha was bigger + more global + is more memorable so yeah, Beyoncé wins
