Using your logic, I believe Anti is more global than Lemonade.

Interesting, definitely possible. Though, I though mediatraffic is only an accumulation of a few of the biggest music markets. Not the vast amount listed above.

Lmao people didn't know Taylor Swift here in South Africa before We Are Never Getting Back Together... even then she was still a semi flop 
And Beyoncé is literally the biggest artist in the African Continent, with Rihanna...

Both sides doing the most...
Bey is a more established and widely more acclaimed artist but Taylor is clearly the better selling artist lately but i'd say her music and image play a large part in that. Cookie-cutter pop sells more

Overall, it's Beyoncé. Taylor doesn't have an era as global as Dangerously in Love or IASF (yet).

Some things are about more than money. Taylor can sell more music, but that doesn't mean she's infiltrated society even close to the way Beyonce has.
Btw, no one even buys music anymore lol

Taylor in Asia and Oceania, Beyoncé in South America and Europe.
They're equal in NA. Don't know about Africa, though I guess it's Beyoncé.
I'd say that Taylors music is more global while Beyoncé as a celebrity is more global,

Taylor won't have a global era as IASF
Taylor hasn't even toured the world cause she limited to people those that give "platinum" certifications

I guess by South America you mean Brazil. Because 1989 was bigger in SA than any Beyoncé era, and at this moment Taylor is more known

SA really isn't unclear at all when Bey has toured there extensively and has a Diamond album in that region meanwhile Taylor has never toured there and her strongest certification in the region is 1x Platinum.
