Beyonce and Britney Jean?

For example during 4 era almost 1/3 of her single sales were from South Korea,(Love on Top and BTINH sold the same in South Korea as they did in U.S. For example)

Digital downloads in South Korea are very cheap, like less than $0.10 per download.

Yea, someone in this thread already said it; Beyoncé the brand is global, her music - not so much

Only her EDM tracks are huge e.g. Only Girl, We Found Love. Something Bey never makes.

Umbrella is huge, not EDM
Take a Bow is huge, not EDM
Live Your Life is huge in the US, not EDM
Rude Boy is huge, not EDM
What's My Name is huge, not EDM
Love the Way You Lie is huge, not EDM
Diamonds is huge, not EDM
Stay is huge, not EDM (actually a piano ballad lol)
The Monster is huge, not EDM

Not to mention her many top 10 hits that were not EDM

[Leo August]

Bey is not local, that's a fact. BEYONCE hit #1 in 100+ countries on iTunes, and if "you only need to sell 15 copies to hit #1 in some countries !!!!1" how come your global faves didn't achieve that ?

Beyonce holds the record for having the highest selling foreign female song ever(halo-2.3M copies)

Rolling In The Deep has 3.28 downloads there, i dont know if another foreigh female solo song has more than it though.

Lol Hive, haters know she isn't local its just what they use to drag Bey like a running gag of sorts.

Anyway its just your gay white European twinks on ATRL who use that shade towards her. They Stan for your basic, minimally talented plane Jane's who make basic pop music so...

Beyonce out earns, is more respected, is more talented and is on a whole other level compared to their faves (who normally fade after 5-6 years regardless) so the Hive shouldn't be bothered and we rarely ever are lmao

The racism
The homophobia
The xenophobia

I can't

[lonnie]

Single Ladies topping only two countries worldwide kind of proves your point wrong
Or the fact she hasn't really had any global hits these past decade (seeing her biggest sold 3.3M? Worldwide)
So no

[*-ChriZ-*]

theres no need for any kind of receipts. She is or at the very least is going down as a legend, thats very safe to say. When you are a legend, ur not local but global. Its very easy. Thread can be closed.

[HumanitySector]

She actually is, especially comparing to Rih, Katy and Gaga.

She is not local but she is not global either

i.e: BEYONCE (the album) has sold less copies than Rebel Heart and Shakira. in countries like Germany, France and Italy

See this is the kind of dumb ****...Bey sold TWICE as much outside of the US as Shakira sold WW with her last album.

What is the logic behind cherry picking three random countries where Shakira happened to be stronger (I'm sideeyeing that too considering the lack of receipts and certifications but anyway...) when Bey is literally lapping her WORLDWIDE sales with only sales outside of the US to try to frame the nonsensical point that Bey isn't global?

This is where the percentage/proportion angle just gets dumb af. Bey's international album sales are just as strong or better than y'all's favorite "global!!1!1!!" artists, her global touring is second only to the global Queen of Pop Madonna, herself and yet y'all still try it over a handful of minor European markets. Absolutely ridiculous.

When compared to other major female acts she still is.

This doesn't matter to ATRL because she didn't sell 60k downloads of a dance record in some obscure eastern European country

bby I am comparing flop albums like Shakira. or Rebel Heart to a "successful" album like BEYONCE

you cannot be global when you are practically irrelevant in 4 (Spain too) of the 10th biggest music markets in the world

[Chemist]

and @ Germany and France being minor markets. Educate yourself first please
