He didn't sell more albums in the U.S. than The Beatles, but he is insanely popular.
And Country music usually seems to fly under the radar because most of America's media is centered in big cities, where the genre isn't popular. However, you will find a lot of people who love Country music throughout much of the southern and middle United States. And when you add them up, it's a lot of people.

From what i read he sold 140 million albums, and 120million in US alone. So, at least he have most of his famous in US. I think Shania Twain sells albums like this too. At least here in Brazil there is near zero US country music, 'we' listen to our own. Actually I believe your country music is just listened in your country, because the only country singer that is famous WW that I know is Shania. |
Country music is (from what I understand) pretty popular across all of North America with most of the biggest acts centered in Canada and the United States.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of traditional country music (too twangy) but modern country music is much more in line with traditional rock music; and you will quite regularly see a lot of pop acts that are heavily based in country music. This should not (really) be that surprising being that Rock-n-Roll came from the blending of country music and rhythm and blues; and as country music is re-blended with rock, pop, latin music, punk, reggae, jazz and (countless) other styles it seems to be returning to a similar point to where rock was spawned.
With that said, there are many musical genres that I would rather listen to than modern country
