Because it's a GLOBAL chart and could presumably let someone think that said artist is a hit globally when in fact he/she is not. 

 

JAGAHANAHAJAKA!!
 

This is too funny! Are you actually aware of how sad and pathetic you sound? 

 

that you’re trying to downplay how impressive I’d be to top the Spotify chart worldwide for 400+ days, when your fave probably never even reached #1 once? 

 

This. Is. So. Sad. 

 

Welp. let’s take a look at her numbers Worldwide then shall we?

That your flopped fave who has probably never topped the Spotify chart one day in their lives and you’re here asking if topping it for 400 days straight is that impressive because Morgan is at #30 place exc. US?

 

This. Is. Pathetic

 

qell . let’s take a look at her numbers Worldwide then shall we?

I don't think you understood my initial post in which I wrote that Taylor's success is global. I just mentioned that I know it is because I check individual charts and that the Spotify Global chart doesn't reflect it as accurately with examples of Morgan and Zach Bryan. That's all.

I feel like TikTok is an echo chamber with its fyp system. 2 million people hating on Taylor (who prob didn't even consume Taylor in the 1st place) in the app would not cancel out the tens of millions still listening to her on streaming services.

Lol pls don’t play dumb. You were clearly trying to make the implication that “oh Spotify worldwide chart is mostly carried by the US anyway”. 
 

Well even if it is true. It is not our fault that we’re the biggest music market in the world and that the whole of Europe combined stream less than us.

Well yes and no. Being global means traveling to any country and being famous. If being global meant number of citizens then Garth Brooks and several local Asian acts are global as well. 

 

So despite an artist going #1 on the Global Spotify chart with 300 million streams because every American has listened to said song or album that doesn't mean being global. What you're saying is that we should consider Morgan Wallen global when he's only famous in two markets.

Lover being the #1 worldwide album nearly 5 years after the era started is insane :rip:

 

Three albums in the worldwide Top 5 and she hasn't released in over a year.

 

I swear every day her power gets more absurd.

And that's exactly what global means: "relating to the whole world; worldwide".

Where the streams come from is irrelevant to what's considered global, this is why all the official chart/music organizations with official global charts (Spotify, Billboard/Luminate, IFPI…) rank songs/albums according to their consumption across all markets cumulatively, and not according to the distribution of their consumption per country. But sure, let's define global differently than the music industry itself does… :lakitu:

It's funny how these global Spotify charts are always supposed to showcase what's popular in the world or not when even Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan charted on the Global Spotify charts and they only had the US and Australia. 

 

Like, I'm pretty sure Taylor is global but whenever I want to get an idea of who's popular or not I visit individual charts of different countries to have a better understanding of how big a certain artist is given that you only need two big territories where you're a smash to chart on a chart like the Spotify Global chart. 

Well if you visit local charts then you will realize that Taylor is way more popular than any other international country in 99% of countries. Truly global

If Taylor is set to experience a popularity drop it certainly won't be based on her past eras (which include a heavy-playlisted current smash) nor would it come just after one big turnoff. Even a downfall is a process :michael:

Lol, I remember her daily Spotify numbers were revealed last year for a few days and only about 1/3 of her streams were coming from the US. Which means she’s doing more streams outside the U.S. by several tens of millions than anyone else is doing across the entire globe. Because the runner up artists behind her on Spotify (Drake, Bunny, Weeknd) are pulling somewhere in the 40M range. 
 

Anyone suggesting she’s not the biggest musician on a global scale by a long shot in 2023-2024, much less local, is a troll. And not a very good one. It takes one look around all the countries where Spotify is available to see her planted firmly in the top 10 in almost every market, and #1 in probably 20+ (which includes many European countries, since that’s the world to some of you).

 

How someone could have the top two albums on Spotify global charts and still be called local, even without taking the other information provided here into account, is already beyond me.

Here we go again with the "tAyLoR iSn'T gLObaL" Hail Mary again even though we have plenty of stats that show that Taylor is globally successful even if she isn't as famous as 09-11 Gaga or Justin Bieber or whatever. 

 

Also, the global market isn't even unified like that. I have roots from Latin America. Bad Bunny and some other Latin artists that are inescapable down there aren't household names in Europe(barring Spain) and Asia. 

 

Taylor may not be "larger than life" or whatever but she's still globally successful. Why care about being number 1 on a "global" chart when you can sell out stadiums globally? Touring >> Streaming.

Lol. Can’t you see the Garth brooks example is precisely why the unhealthy obsession some of you have over some tiny countries outside the US is so laughable? 
 

Garth has over 150M sales and a big touring act by being big US alone. He’s infinitely more successful and higher earning than the whole lot of smaller “global stars”. 


In fact, Garth probably has sold more in a random county or city in Ohio than some of those “global Stars” have sold in Belgium or the Neverlands. 

 

All of this is Because of the simple fact that America is the richest country and the biggest music market in the world. any feeble attempt at an argument by removing the US from the conversation has already fallen apart because that’s no different removing 1/3 or half the music market. America matters more than 50 to maybe 100 small countries combined. Deal with it.

If you have no numbers or stats to provide, and your response is this weak then you should just not have responded.

Btw, Taylor’s excluding US streams is 45M which is higher than the number 2 act, so Taylor excluding US certainly is still bigger than your fave the whole world combined. 
 

So congratulations, your attempt at digging extra hard for wired, dumbfounded angle to avoid the obvious truth that Taylor is the biggest artist in the world, has fell flat so hard that it hit you in the face instead.

Lol...are you serious? The majority of posts on these types of threads are opinionated and don't cite stats up front. 

 

But here's some stats to "validate" my post.

And I could post even more receipts than that. 

 

Like I said, I'm not saying she's as famous as 09-11 Gaga or 2010's era Bieber or anything but she's still very much globally successful by most metrics.

You had me up until here because yes, she certainly is. Kinda insulting to the sheer level of dominance her catalogue has had on a global scale since last year, since literally no one else in history has had their albums take up so much space in every country where there’s an official charts company… but the bar is 2010s Justin Bieber? Even in her ‘weaker’ markets like Italy she’s been charting 5-6 albums every week since summer ‘23

 

:suburban:
 

I’m not like coming for you or anything btw, I just think it’s silly to put those examples as a bar for her global success when she’s achieving things across the world that most artists have never seen.

And because those countries are also the part of GLOBAL. And what’s is the relationship between this and this thread? Completely off-topic

THANK YOU. 
 

Morgan Wallen is local to a few countries, but he’s still massively global.
