One of the most annoying songs on earth maybe… but Ricky’s song was as big as this so no

I don't think people realize how huge the world cup is. 

 

It's far from the biggest but it's definitely up there when it comes to reach.

You can always try and name one song that you consider was more global

By your definition in the OP any song you can dance to qualities. 

A smash with insane longevity !

I honestly think she has the top two most global songs (for females at least) this century. Waka Waka and Hips Don't Lie

I wasn't even talking about peaks

I was talking about globalness

just because you feel like something is huge from where you live

doesn't change the number of countries I just listed

it's the amount of countries that decide globalness

not peaks nor some irrational feelings

I fear the answer is yes

Oh, good to know! I was under the impression it wasn't that popular there.

Not people mentioning chart stats here.  Highest-selling =/= most global reach.

 

The majority of digital sales come just from the US and some few other countries and most non-western countries do not have official charts, so these stats aren't fully representative of global reach.

People whose favs never got a global hit trying in here

Yes this is the most global track by a female 

it's up there with HDL, but Waka Waka has power lasting power and it will outlive everyone

Do you really think SIO is bigger than Waka Waka in places like the middle east, India, central Asia, Africa or Latin America?  

 

The only place where SIO is the biggest among the songs you listed is the US

I mean, which other female (apart from perhaps Shakira with Whenever Wherever and Hips Dont Lie) has a song who can pass all seven checks in such a mainstream, culturally impactful and timeless manner?

 

 

 

 

 

Avril Lavignes Girlfriend did ALL of this AND Australia/New Zealand #1.

I mean Waka Waka topped more countries than Shake It Off with these receipts? What was the plan here?

Sorry but girlfriend is more global

Girlfriend was certainly not a hit in Africa

Sorry sis. Avril did have good international  reach by being massive in the western world + east Asia, but the rest of the world is probably still waiting to discover who Avril Lavigne even is tho

Do you really think SIO is bigger than Waka Waka in places like the middle east, India, central Asia, Africa or Latin America?  

 

The only place where SIO is the biggest among the songs you listed is the US

Did I say bigger?

that’s not what this thread is about no?

It topped more countries but it charted less countries 

we’re talking about globalness here

not how huge those songs are?

you are welcomed to create a thread on most no.1’s

this thread is not about that

	It flopped in Aus and NZ so no, not global.

Huh? Avril toured 6 continents over a 2 year period in 2004/5? Do you even know Avrils reach? Get educated. Girlfriend hit #1 in all 6 continents (I know there’s 7 but Antarctica doesn’t count). Shakira can stay in her 5 continent market. Bye!

They charted in more or less the same countries? The only distinction being that SIO had more charts within countries thanks to more radio charts and digital charts available being added on its page but Waka Waka was the bigger hit. It charted in nearly every country that had a chart back then let alone the countries that didn't 

The answer is yes, it was massive in every corner of the globe. The other songs listed in this thread can't compare
