Because it turned into yet another Rihanna v. Beyonce thread.

It's funny because after all the other artists other people brought up, everybody wants to stay on Rihanna.

Can't they both just win? Rihanna's the third biggest female in Europe ever and Beyonce's one of the top ten females globally.

Is there really a need for an argument when everyone wins?

Bey's no where near the top 10 in albums/SEAs/TEAs since Billboard + other global charts don't combined DC, and her solo stats. When Dark Horse went #1, Bey was no where to be found in the list of female artists with most 1s on the Hot 100. She would've been tied with Katy if DC + B were combined but she was not.

Stop living in fan fiction ya'll. Beyonce isn't global, and just there. No matter how ya'll try to inflate/save her stats.

And before anyone tries it, the only people that would discount DC from her total are those whose faves can't compete with her overall career.

Billboard is just one organization and they've made mistakes before. Need I remind you that they didn't want to add digital sales to their charts because they didn't want to promote the digital industry?

Beyonce is #7 in the U.K. for female single sales with 6.9M singles sold as of October 2012. Since then she's sold over 1M singles. She'll pass Gaga and Whitney with her next era.

Ahh. Beyonce has more top 10s than Katy and most importantly yours. What does Katy have do with this? But Beyonce is most successful than your fave. So if Bey is "just there", then your fave ain't there at all.

That's white supremacy right there.

Not global until white people embrace you.

Clock IT.

[manwhore]

Only thing semi global beyonce has achieved was her latest album. Mind you it was fueled only due to the fact that it was a viral first in the industry surprise release.. hype. I fell for the hype myself. Overrated album if there ever was a definition of overated. Gundam style was more global then anything solo Beyonce has done. Oh and guess what it was viral.

The fact that ATRL is trying to dismiss someone who grossed over $100M outside of the US with a single tour as local says enough. The delusion

Singles in South Korea cost a few cents

And really, she is global but has her weak markets. She's not big in Germany (and Japan?) and those are 2 of the five biggest music markets in the world.
Pulling the race card is just very far-fetched.

in Brazil she is a queen.
everybody loves her.

Just because US is her biggest market doesn't mean she's local. Her WW sales are impressive nevertheless. It's just that her US success is so big in comparison that dumb stans like you get fooled.

This is what Swifties have said since Red
Beyonce does do okay globally, but I do think, in comparison to most other pop acts, she is more local. Still, even as a more local act, she's slaying most our favs so good for her

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

except no way electronic dance tracks as SOS, DSTM and Disturbia...
Diamonds, Stay, Umbrella, Rude boy, Take a bow, Unfaithful... Initial post was about European charts, right? then pretty much any ballad she released as a single, damn, even Man Down and their little brothers say hello

to the topic:

please, stop this idiotism. You know, Beyonce is not local. Ya'll Hive can stop fuming so hard about it. Still, she's very american-oriented, that's her biggest market in every term, and, speaking percentage of her receipts, biggest of them come from the US public. That's only way she can be called someway "local", especially in comparison with some of her peers (but not w/ the likes of Taylor Swift, if this helps you sleep at night), and you won't change this fact
