    i was interested in it more from a cultural angle than a sales one but it's interesting in both cases

    Kendrick in general does really well in Africa (Especially Ghana/SA/Nigeria) . He has toured there and maybe that's a driving factor. Rest of the world isn't engrained in hip hop culturally. They see it as no different from other genres and just as music.

    The value of culture a long with music is primarily an american thing because it requires larger context imo than just the music by itself. It's fading away though.

    There are numerous artists who have discrepancies in their USA vs. Global Spotify stats this year:

    • Bad Bunny: #3 on Global, outside the Top 10 on USA
    • Billie Eilish: #5 on Global, outside the Top 10 on USA
    • Peso Pluma: #7 on Global, outside the Top 10 on USA
    • Ariana Grande: #9 on Global, outside the Top 10 on USA
    • Feid: #10 on Global, outside the Top 10 on USA
    • Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Future, Kendrick Lamar, and Metro Boomin: All within the Top 10 on USA, but not within the Top 10 on Global

    Singling out The Weeknd is definitely a choice

    Weeknd is the only artist in that list which makes US centric music

    Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande don’t make US centric music?

    Or are you considering them pop because they’re white and think Weeknd isn’t pop because he’s black?

    All of these words and goalpost moving for the obvious reality: you hate The Weeknd no matter what and can’t fathom how people listen to him en masse

    Are you really trying to say that Weeknd hasn't always constantly collab with US artists lol

    he has more collabs with US artists than any other pop star by far

    the biggest song of his new album is a collab with a mumble rapper

    with AH, out of the 3 #1s, 2 of them were collabs with US artists too

    If that’s the case every single Billie song is a “collab” with a US artist because her brother produced them
