Why are B'Day & Back To Basics Grammy winning albums and Blackout isn't?
Girl Bey is so far above these two

Why are only Black women referred to as local?
Yeah this is basically it. R&b became huge in the US over time so when pop girls who didn't conform to it struggled in the US, their fans sort of took their anger out on the genre which is dominated by black people. Thus the artists who made R&b music which did better in the US then Europe got called local. And then stans began equating local= big in the US while global = big in Europe. Even Janet whos stats are not as great in europe was huge in africa in addition to the US. But Africa is not relevant in their eyes so is not included as global. As long as their are black pop girls competing with white pop girls, this discussion will always exist. What mainly started during the Madonna/janet/Whitney/Mariah stan wars still exists today. Also not sure why people keep mentioning country artists or Taylocal as thats missing the point of the discussion.

It's a form of racism. Though some of them probably don't realize it. When white MPG stans who's faves didn't do as well in the US as Europe, they turned to the "local" drag in stan wars. Madonna stans were probably the first to do it during the Mariah vs Madonna wars of the 90s/00s. Even though they knew damn well a white woman with white skin and making pop music has the advantage in those markets. This has continued into the 00s and today with Taylor/Gaga/Britney stans using it against Beyonce.

"Born This Way" is Lady Gaga's least streamed #1. Surprised?
Not surprised. The song is just not very good even in 2011.
