maybe because she is an asian artist and not an international artist.
everybody in the world knows who madonna is, and almost everybody
should understand what she is singing, because she sings english, which is
the world language. more people know you -> more money

radios play songs of artists who sing in english in every country.
compared to that, asian artists are only, well played on asian radio stations.
makes sense.

Nah, she is one of the top artists in Asia, yet she can't compare to the wealth of Western top artists. For one thing, they have a bigger market, since they're popular all over the world, not just Asia.

If you compare, ayu made roughly 9 million dollars in one of her top years, 2002, while Madonna made 50 million in 2004. And ayu does a lot more commercial endorsement stuff.
