That makes her small in the US, not big WW. Her sales aren't big anywhere.

We all know who is getting all the worldwide coins, who people are willing to pay for entertainment.

Exactly, them Asians have enough coins for Gaga

If Beyoncé sells 5 million in the US, and 3 million outside of the US...

Yet someone sells 2 million outside the US, and one million in the US.

It DOES NOT matter the percentage, because she still outsold them on both fronts. THINK people!

Yeah numbers matters more than percentage. I agree.

Britney > Adele > Rihanna > Gaga = Bey > Shakira > Katy

They all are very popular everywhere

Then how is Rihanna global?
She can't tour globally?
She can't sell albums globally?
Asia doesn't use.
South America doesn't use.

Her only 'global' facet are the quick lil singles.
But yes, nobody was talking about singles so we can remove Rih from the discussion.

Oop

[lightstheyblindme]

none of the other pop girls can even hold a candle to Gaga's global influence

Could any of these girls pull a BEYONCE and have the same global success? NO.

Let me break this down for you since you've been having problems with this throughout the entire thread. The word global pertains to the Globe, another word for planet earth. The US is a country on this planet and so in order to be global, popularity here is important as well.

But let's just go by your logic where Outside the US = Global.
If 'Album A' sells 100 million copies and 58% of those sales are from the US, it is more global than 'Album B' which has sold 75 million records where 28% of those sales are from the US. 'Album A' has still outsold 'Album B' outside the US and proven to be more popular than it 'globally'. Understand?

Your wasting your time. Navy logic is. . . . . . . . . different

The question clearly is who is more global, not who is BIGGER ito of records sold. So this means you look at relative sales (ie. the composition of their WW sales) and not how many records each artist sold.

The obvious answer here is Rihanna's sales are from all over the world.

AND Rihanna is big in Europe and Australia. She does average in the US.

No she's not ! But it's a fact that shakira is irrelevant in the state and that's why she accepted to be a talent show judge and now working with trendy artists to stay relevant.

Shakira is sooo irrelevant that she managed to sell 500k in the US alone with her last SPANISH album.

Shakira accepted the Voice just because she was a pregnant woman with a lot of free time lol she still had a 12 million paycheck, good thing for a hobbie.

We've already established Shakira is most global followed by Rihanna so I don't see why we have to keep going back and forth

Its because some people refuse to admit that their faves can't compete with the real global queens.
