What artists have different signature songs in different countries?
Disclosure is an example. Their biggest UK hit was "White Noise" but in the U.S they'll be known for "Latch".

First off: the plural of 'country' is 'countries'. :)
Another example:
- Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" was bigger than "Black Widow" in the US. In most European countries, "Black Widow" is/was her biggest. In a lot of European countries, "Fancy" was quite a flop (sadly).

Depeche Mode
Just Can't Get Enough was huge in Australia. Enjoy the Silence was far more obscure there.

One Direction's signature song in America & Europe is What makes you beautiful but in Asia is Night changes.
Survivor & Say My Name are Destiny's Child's signature songs worldwide. However in some Asian countries their signature song is ........... Stand Up For Love.

Crazy In Love / Irrepleaceble is Beyonce's biggest hit in the US, and Halo is overall her most-streamed song. However, at least in a big portion of latin america, Single Ladies is THE beyonce song, the one she is best known for

Donna Summer: In Europe her signature or biggest hit is “I Feel Love” In the US it did really well, but she’s probably most known for “Last Dance”. Close second and third songs are probably “Hot Stuff and Bad Girls” which both didn’t do all that well in Europe.
