Aah... You are right! Mea culpa!
It's actually written within those pages, - I just didn't read carefully.
Thanks for clarifying it, Paul!

No problems. The stats on the Budweiser site are U.S. only, where Bud Lite
is the top seller. The list is worldwide, and only sales of the American
Budweiser are included under the Budweiser name. Europeans and Aussies
don’t like to admit it, but the bland Bud sells well internationally. It’s
not good beer, but ice cold on a hot day it’s refreshing. More
importantly, it drinks like water but intoxicates like most other
mid-alcohol beers, so it’s a favorite of bar crowds who like to get
hammered in a hurry.

That list has some problems:
It ranks Budweiser as #2, but if you go to the Budweiser page:
https://vinepair.com/articles/10-important-facts-budweiser-abinbev/ ,
you can see that "Bud Light was introduced in 1988 and overtook Budweiser in
sales in 2001."
So, how could Bud Light trail as #4?
Clearly, there is an inconsistency there.
But the first question I had before seeing all that: how did they count the
sales of Budweiser? I.e. is it just American Budweiser or combined with the
Czech Budweiser (which is The Budweiser in most of Europe, and which is a
real beer [sold in the US as Czechvar] as opposed to the water-like AB's
Budweiser).

Geez, I can't believe that Coors is the second best selling beer in the U.S,
let alone the light version. It was a big deal when I was in college, and
someone had to go out west to bring back a "suitcase", of the stuff because
it wasn't available East of the Mississippi. Then it became generally
available, and most of us couldn't believe we actually /wanted/ to drink it.
Corona is Coors with a Mexican accent, just sayin'.
The fact that Snow, which is apparently a derivative of Miller, is the most
popular in the world, based on it's sales in China, tells me more about life
there than I ever really wanted to know. Miller the perennial second fiddle
to Budweiser, gah, the world deserves to end.
