She's maybe at number 4 or 5.
Also, pop stands for popular. It's weird how people say Adele or Beyonce aren't pop stars...
Lastly let me go out of the way and say:
JUSTIN BIEBER.
Take off the stan caps/what you wish and get real girls

Look at Adele's album sales tho

Justin Bieber isn't what we all think of as a popstar, I guess.

Rihanna and Lady Gaga. They are huge just about everywhere. Next up would be Beyonce. She's huge internationally, too, but not as big as Rihanna and Gaga are at the moment. Britney used to be huge internationally, but now she just tries to sell off her name alone and it's obviously not going too well. And then Katy is somewhat successful internationally. I am only a little successful out of the U.S. but I will be expanding with my next album and snatching everyone's wigs.
By territory:
North America - Adele, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry
South America - Shakira, Beyonce, and Rihanna
Europe - Adele, Beyonce, Shakira, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga
Africa - Rihanna
Asia - Avril Lavigne and Lady Gaga
Australia - Pretty much all of them.

Rihanna is big in North America too, and Gaga is also huge in South America countries (Mexico)
Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga and some other Disney stars are big in Asia, but they're nothing compared to Korean artists

I would say:
Rihanna, Gaga and Shakira are the biggest worldwide pop stars at the moment.

I edited it, so you can double-check.
Taylor Swift is popular in Asia, Justin Bieber is huge there, and people know of the Disney stars. But I wouldn't say they're big. I named Gaga in Asia, so I don't know why you mentioned that....
It's hard to crack Asia.

By territory:
North America - Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are huge there. But Rihanna is a close third. Beyonce and Britney are also very successful there, too.
South America - Shakira, Britney, Beyonce, and Rihanna
Europe - Beyonce, Shakira, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga
Africa - Rihanna and Shakira
Asia - Avril Lavigne and Lady Gaga
Australia - Pretty much all of them. But the largest are probably Rihanna, Gaga,and Shakira at the moment.
I took Adele out because she isn't a popstar, but she's huge in Australia, North America, and Europe right now.

Nobody cares about Shakira here in Australia... Where did you pull that from?

She sold like 50K internationally. You can't be serious? Without America, she is a non-factor.

Lady Gaga has Europe, Australia, North America, and Asia on Rihanna, so unfortunately Rihanna is second there.
Katy Perry isn't huge at all internationally. And I CANNOT at you putting Nicki there. No one really knows who Nicki is outside of North America. She's had a little success in Europe and Australia, but nothing to boast about.

How can you NOT include Adele? Who's album is selling more than hers right now? Maybe she's not your typical paper thin pop star that makes catchy, happy go lucky pop songs, but her music is impacting the music industry like no other. Rolling in the Deep is one of the biggest singles of the year and 21 is the best selling album of the year.

Ask LightandDarkness. I just put that to be safe because I wasn't sure and I thought it'd be best to put her there instead of not putting her there.

Nope, he's right. Her last hit song was Hips Don't Lie in Australia and her last hit album was Laundry Service (10 years ago).

At the moment, Rihanna is more popular than Lady GaGa. GaGa's popularity is fading. Actually, Katy may not be 'huge' internationally but she's very popular at the moment. There's a fine line between 'success' and 'popularity'. And, and the moment, after Super Bass, her popularity is starting to soar and I can only foresee great things after the release of 'Fly'.
Besides, I changed my list to exclude Nicki and include Shakira.
