Generally its much harder to track popularity outside of Japan, since things are much more spread out. She is defiantly the most popular Vocaloid even world wide, and they can push things further even then due to the amount of merchandise. Popularity breeds popularity. With Miku having 3 the content of any vocaloid at least, she is producing far too much stuff to the point it over saturates the fandom and spews out from Japan. This is why I've always said how double-edged her popularity is.

But females tend to be overall more successful then males in Japan in general. And almost 1/3 of all content on Nico video is Vocaloid related, so you're looking at thousands of uploads daily that are vocaloid related leaking out into the world from that 1 site. Truth be told, Vocaloid isn't the same at all in terms of popularity as it is in Japan. We're buying more music then vocaloids themselves. And a lot of the popularity of our own Vocaloids and even Japan are hidden.
