So what source reps this country called "Worldwide" I'll wait lol. Last time I checked EVERYTHING the US prints pther countries follow. Last time I checked TIME magazine represents the world seeing that is features several people that have no ties to the US whatsoever, The Pope being one. Should I name more? lol  Let's not play this foolish game, dear.

Who else can tour the world without any new music supporting it and gross $230M? Her album topped iTunes in 111 countries, which hasn't been done before, without ANY warning or single and went on to becoming the fastest-selling album in iTunes history...WORLDWIDE. Pretty damn good for someone who's ''another artist there'' in some countries. STOP fooling yourself. |
LOL good for her, but Madonna, Britney, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston where 1000X bigger and broke alot more records WW than her in their peaks. And I'm not saying she doesnt have success in other countries but she can't be compared with others, and if we go with current stats, Rihanna and Adele surpass her with ease WW. So no she's not the biggest star WW. Period.
Oh and about the tour I'm sure Rihanna and Katy are gonna have that gross 17 years into their careers. Beyonce has that advantage, we should compare her to someone like Madonna who has a 500 million World tour gross.

Welp I guess Beyonce's Diamond album is better than Adele's and Britney's since it's outside of the local US aka the country called "Worldwide"

Yes, she's different but when I go to see a show I wanna see lights, choreo and a versatile setlist. Adele doesn't give me much of that.

Talk when the others top 111 countries on iTunes with a album and the record as the fastest-selling album in history.
With ease? Rihanna's last album sold 3.5M is it's been 2 years. Beyonce sold that in a matter of months with 2 performances. With ease? Wrong choice of words . Then I guess PINK is bigger than Rihanna seeing that her album outsold UA with ease. Weren't both released in the same year?

No dear is the US edition of Forbes. And Forbes only measures how much money they make not who sells more albums or records WW. Also Madonna is way richer than Beyonce, she just doesn't expose her accounts to Forbes, that has been discussed to death.

Touring success is not guaranteed just because you have a long career. If anything, it makes it harder for an artist. There are really not much female artists that have been in the business the same amount of years as Bey that is touring on her level. P!nk, Bey and who? Christina? Ashanti? who? They are able to sustain touring success because they are proven performers same with Madonna and the legends. And let's be real, no one is going to be throwing out coins to see Katy Perry act a fool on stage when she's mid 30s.

Wait, are people actually questioning this?
Name anyone else who tours at her level, sells at her level, generates hype and press at her level all at once.
Literally nobody.

It's selling like 5k per week is not gonna pass UA.
Pink was more succesful than Rihanna an Beyonce with her last album, but Rihanna releases one album per year, but Beyonce...

Rihanna is just having 8 years into her career and is already grossing 150 million, Katy I don't know, she doesnt have the talent beyonce has, but she's wayy more appealing than Beyonce WW, so I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up having those numbers, even Gaga in 2010 grossed 230 million with the monster ball, as I said, tour doesn't measure WW relevance just how much your fans are willing to pay for you, LOL!!

Dude get a trip outside the US and every country they print has a different edition, local in each one, sometimes they grab the one of the US sometimes they don't, even if they did, is US biased. I've been to Mexico and they have a different one than the US.
