who cares about the sales of her country only? not me
That's just how ranking charts work. Billboard in the USA is the same way. All of these charts started out as information for the companies who sell music, so they know what is popular in their own countries, and can rank their own artists' performances.

Yeah, it'd be great if we had one (other than World Charts, which I think is very cheap-y) that did everything, but it's not for us, it's for industry insiders.
