I was about to say I'd estimate less than 10 million fans untill I read your post.
I guess 6.8 million of those foreigners are in the rest of Asia.
People want to think she is huge in the rest of the world, she really isn't.
How to define a fan? A person who has heard of her? A person who has heard a song and enjoyed it? People who continously listen to her songs? People who buy her releases?
It makes it very hard to estimate, because theres definately atleast 200 million+ people who know who she is, what kind of music she makes and what she looks like.
