Isn't this about Red? And Rihanna is more global than Beyonce. She's kinda local.

How is she local? When she's famous in almost every country I've been to.

Anyway congrats Taylor!

Amazing first week. Are you all drunk? She's sold outside North America almost as much as Rihanna did. The only difference is that she had a Platinum debut in both US and Canada.

Well, isn't Rihanna considered such a huge global force and Taylor extremely local? A difference of 50K...

[BnPac]

That's good, for such a local act she managed to sell almost as much as some girls you guys call global WW. The difference is just that she slays too much in the US.

Black & Blue is the biggest first week seller of all time worldwide. They sold well over 3 million.

NSYNC was local.

Mediatraffic has B&B opening with 2.4m WW and NSA with 2.8m WW.

Utada sold 3m her opening week, though pretty much all of that was from Japan.

[Brando]

So 151k without US and Canada?

I don't understand why Taylor fans are taking being local as an insult. I mean it's pretty evident . Doesn't take away from the fact that the numbers are really impressive.

EDIT: And 250k WW is amazing too. She ain't as local as people are making her out to be.

Because people are saying this to insult her, that's why

Impressive numbers, doesn't matter what the haters have to say. She's not THAT local, she's just too huge in the US.

[Oziee]

200k without US is not local! Congrats to her!

[zach]

As I expected.

Album will end up selling 5 million in US and about 2 million WW in the end. Bookmark meh.
