5,200,000 + 750,000 + 370,000 + 450,000 + 45,000 + 60,000
= 6,875,000
8,000,000 - 6,875,000
=1,125,000
1,125,000 divided by 8,000,000
=0.140625 x 100
=14.0625
∴ Only 14% of 1989's WW sales (8,000,000+ copies sold) come fron non-English speaking countries.
The answer: SHE IS NOT GLOBAL

I know you're trying to show you're smart by crunching some numbers, but you cannot use ratios to do this. Her overall sales is huge and that makes the ratios misleadingly small. Like if she doesn't slay US as well as she does, only selling 2 million there for example, that makes her total sales go down to 4.8 and that 1.2 million from non English speaking markets to go up to 25%, which is the same as other pop girls have been doing recently.
As someone has pointed out earlier, 1989 did the same as other pop girls (those atrl consider more global this Taylor) did for their last era.
