All you are proving is that Shakira underperforms in the US...

Wow.

Beyoncé.

She is massively popular in North America, South America, Oceania and Africa, and decently popular in Asia and Europe. None of the other girls are as universally popular at the moment.

Once again...does it matter if Beyonce's total sales outside of the US surpasses Katy's overall sales?

they havent but i think percentages show a better picture like the op said. beys sales are great but im saying shes less global because most are from the USA

Even then Sale El Sol has a bigger percentage which means she's more global.

Why are you still focusing on percentage? What if 90% of her sales came from Spain? Would she still be global.

ATRL only thinks sales outside of the US are global when an artist can easily sell a bulk of their albums in another country.

It's not Beyoncé fault that America is the world biggest music market, and that she is American...

No, you were trying to make the point that buying albums wasn't a priority in Brazil as an excuse for why a certain act doesn't have strong sales there; I was just pointing out another non-Brazilian act that does very well in that market you claim can't be cracked because they're so "poor and underdeveloped." And since when is a diamond album in any country nothing to boast about? The certifications are calibrated based on the market and obtaining a diamond certification means you did extremely well and are very popular in that particular music market. Embarrassed? Please.

Right. By that logic, going diamond in the US is not impressive either b/c there r 300 million population compared to 10 mill sales. It's what the market is & shows how not easily achieved it is if that's what the sales are.

Nah. Brazil was clearly just an example of developing countries with a large population who doesn't really care for albums, I can bring up countless receipts from other developing countries where Icon is slaying, but I'm gonna let it slide

Still love ya'll like XO though

Rihanna is the BIGGEST right now, she has everything, tour, singles sales, album sales, relevance, Youtube views, most relevant celebrity in social media which is the most important tool for celebrities these days, no other one at the moment has eveything in line as her! Katy and Beyonce come in a close 2nd place!

I've said this before Rihanna is more local in Africa than Beyoncé. P!nk rules Oceania tbh.

of course no one chooses pink but we all know its her

Jesus take the wheel in this thread. I'll just say Shakira, Rihanna and Beyoncé are on the same global level. Gaga would be up there as well but we know ARTPOP happened.

That's exactly what it means!!

if someone sells 1 million copies outside the US and 400k in the US it doesnt mean theyre more global than someone who sells 3 million copies outside the US and 4 million in the US. The person who is OVERALL outselling them is the one thats more global. Its the same for any country like if someone can sell 3 million copies in say Japan and then 4 million copies outside Japan then theyre more global then someone that sells 200k copies in Japan and 1 million outside Japan

So an artist that sells 5 copies in every country is more global than any Pop girl? Lol.
