Being global has nothing to do with race.
But keep using that excuse.

That's not what he said.
So clearly reading comprehension isn't your thing.
Stay in school.

Wait. wait. wait.

How does Beyonce "the local" artist have the biggest selling single EVER in Spain? Is Spain in the US or nah? LoL!

Wait. How many of the "global girls" held the #1 spot in a country outside of the US (we know the US in not apart of the world *giggles*) for 27 weeks? Doesn't matter what country it is.. I'll wait?

You cant be local and gross $200 million on a WORLD tour.

This. Beyonce is like the popular girl in school that dumb rumors go around to make people think less of her.

As someone said, ringtones cost two/three times more than digital singles. Although it isn't a major market anymore it used to be so embarrass yourself I guess.

Sweetheart... Digital ringtones took off before digital singles. And MILLIONS were sold before MILLIONS were sold in the digital singles department. And ringtones cost wayyyy more than the 99 cent digital singles. Be smart

Then what did he say, exactly?
Care to explain?
Wow, that piece of advice is absolutely rich coming from a Hive member.

I roll my eyes everytime I see these stans using Europe as a scale of "global". It's very white supremist/eurocentric to base globality on European charts as though Latin America and Asian don't exist. And someone silly in this thread said "most of the top 10 music markets are european countries" but the actual sales figures don't work like that.

It's more of a skewed bell curve. Like 85% (random number but probably near accurate) is the Top 5 of music sales, that being US, UK, South Korea, (and I THINK) Germany and Japan. Those make up the BULK of music revenue. So if Bey has solid stats in at least 2 - 3 of these (which she does), I would say she's global (which she is). Also, she tours all these places right? So obviously you have have to be globally a icon to sell out and pack venues in all these places. Simple as that.

Lastly, ringtone sales were huge when Check On It was out so that 16x platinum figure is actually a lot of revenue and a big deal. Don't try to downplay it just because ringtones aren't popular anymore. Ringtones were expensive as **** back in the day. Anywhere from 2.99 to 4.99.

Bey made COIN on those ringtones.

Even the gay Beyoncé Stans know that she is local deep down. Admit it HIVe Stans

Cackling at the hive grasping for Nokia ringtones as receipts.

She gave her singles away on FreezOne during the IASF and 4 eras.

Those numbers aren't actually sales.

She is #36 overall for single sales in the U.K., though, as of 2012 and top 10 for women (I think #8).

EDIT: FreezOne was where songs went on their third week for sale in South Korea. It was basically a marketing ploy to get triple crowns on music shows. Some international artists just left their music up there. Damn Gaon for discounting FreezOne from their charts when Britney signed to a label that would've let her use it.

Exactly. Billboard used to track and document ringtone sales like digital tracks.

Eternium

She's also top 10 globally for female artists.

He was talking about what ATRL sees as global and it is very euro-centric. No lies there.
You should be taking advice from Hive members because we know how to stan for talent. While others just stan for...you know...lack of live vocals and incoherent "dance" moves.

"Beyonce holds the record for having the highest selling foreign female song ever(halo-2.3M copies) and she is the highest selling foreign female since GAON in South Korea started. She has also succeeded in albums with Dangerously in love being certified 8x platinum. She has sold MORE singles in South Korea than in the UK.

Not including Collabs she has 4 million-multi million sellers in South Korea and even random tracks such as Honesty have sold almost 1m copies in South Korea. Lay Up under Me (a random bonus track) sold 106,671 copies in a week to debut at #1 on the international digital charts."

I mean. Yes she does!

Planet Mars

Lol Hive, haters know she isn't local its just what they use to drag Bey like a running gag of sorts.

Anyway its just your gay white European twinks on ATRL who use that shade towards her. They Stan for your basic, minimally talented plane Jane's who make basic pop music so...

Beyonce out earns, is more respected, is more talented and is on a whole other level compared to their faves (who normally fade after 5-6 years regardless) so the Hive shouldn't be bothered and we rarely ever are lmao

Kylie won against Janet in a global poll a couple of months ago and this was obviously the reason, regardless that Janet has sold twice as much as her

Europe = Global.......................
