TBH does it really matter - there are way too many wherever you are in the world - McD's have outlets in every continent except Antartica, and I guess the others are the same. I did find a Daily Mail article that said Subway was overtaking McD's in the UK, but they're only slightly better IMO.

I don't really have a problem with them from a nutrition perspective because no one is forced to eat themselves obese in their stores, and they have provided a lot of employment around the world as well. But the stores are ugly, and they do put smaller business out of business of course.

All these posts about numbers of McDonalds, yet no one has pointed out the CEO of McDonalds in the UK is called Jill McDonald... wonder if she is married to someone called Ronald?
Maybe another reason the fast food outlets such as McD's, KFC, Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King) etc. stand out so much in Oz is because it tends to be somewhat more spartan here than the highly populated areas in the UK.
