Does this mean I'm an internationally best-selling author?

Over at the Kindle Boards they have a discussion thread where people list their books that have made it into Amazon's Top 100 in any category. My knitting books have done really well both in the US and in Europe. Today I was checking my stats and this is where some of my books stand:

The Crazy Old Lady is still hanging in there:
(In the UK and the US)
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #827 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#13 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Fiction > Genre Fiction > Horror

#15 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Horror
#19 in Books > Mystery & Thrillers > Thrillers > Psychological Thrillers


The Mermaid Shawl and other Beauties:

(In the US and the UK)
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #153,345 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#5 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Lifestyle & Home > Home & Garden > Crafts & Hobbies > Lace & Tatting
#60 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Lifestyle & Home > Home & Garden > Crafts & Hobbies > Needlework

Nr. 11 in Kindle-Shop > eBooks > Fremdsprachige eBooks > Englisch > Freizeit, Haus & Garten > Handwerk & Hobbies > Spitzen & Schiffchenarbeit
Nr. 36 in Kindle-Shop > eBooks > Fremdsprachige eBooks > Englisch > Freizeit, Haus & Garten > Handwerk & Hobbies > Handarbeit

#5 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Cooking, Food & Wine > Regional & International > U.S. Regional > Middle Atlantic
#7 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Nonfiction > Cooking, Food & Wine > Regional & International > European > German

Sumptuous Silk Bags: Learn Entrelac and More

(In Germany)

Nr. 11 in Kindle-Shop > eBooks > Fremdsprachige eBooks > Englisch > Freizeit, Haus & Garten > Handwerk & Hobbies > Stricken


So this begs the question, if I have books in top selling categories in Germany and the UK, does that make me an internationally-best-selling author? I don't think I can stand myself!!!

Thanks for reading.
