"Why is this of importance? Well, despite being a major music market (and perhaps the most renown after America), the UK is geographically tiny compared to the US. Indeed, it’s roughly the size of Michigan state. Hence, Skateboard P’s British numbers are exceptionally impressive and indicate that his popularity abroad outweighs his solo pull on home soil."

Is that so??

Isn't the UK GEOGRAPHICALLY bigger than Japan and yet according to the 2013 IFPI report;

1.) U.S., $4.48 billion
2.) Japan, $4.42 billion
3.) U.K., $1.33 billion
4.) Germany, $1.29 billion

But the Germany is also GEOGRAPHICALLY bigger than Japan and the UK and yet...
