"Kingdom" tops the World Charts -
 
Although many of you guys already know this, and it was probably said in her official thread, Koda Kumi's newest studio album, "Kingdom", has topped the United World Charts!

I posted this because i doubt everyone actually will go into her official thread, and plus ... It's the world charts! and Kumi topped 'em again. <3

Japanese albums often get the top spot on world charts. I believe that after the US, Japan sells the most CDs at the moment (and has the highest download rate).

Still, yay Kingdom! Even though it wasn't that good. =x

Oh I know austin, I'm just saying.

It's not like ... every week that Kumi has an album at the top XD

Well, think there are some people who won't, or wouldn't/didn't otherwise see it, so I think it is a good thing. :D

Uhh...at least myself who won't or couldn't/didn't see it wasn't interested in this news in the first place but maybe you did a favour for the others who didn't want to go into her official thread.

Congratulations to Koda though.

There's quite a few threads on this page that aren't thread-worthy.

Zachery! 14th February 2008 12:17 AM

Eh, Dont start an argument.

Just .. yeah. Chill.

I mean, There are even more irrelevant threads by far. Plus, this can keep the "OMGASH IM SO HAPPY KUMI GOT #1 ON TEH WURLD CHAHTZZZZZZ ^_^_^_^_^^_^_^" out of her official thread, hopefully.

milky_way 14th February 2008 12:19 AM

^ Oh, I wasn't trying to argue. Just saying that this thread won't hurt anything. Thanks for the info because I didn't know that about Kingdom :P

AyuGAME 14th February 2008 01:00 AM

Of course, not :heart

It's not the greatest thing that it was "Kingdom" that topped the world charts and not "GUILTY" but it's a good thing to Japan in general. It shows the world they have quality and loyal supportive fans.

LacusClyne 14th February 2008 02:47 AM

well, though i make an effort to check the kuu's thread, but i miss this. it's good that she hit the number 1 on the world chart. i'm happy for her. (^_^)

lfe. 14th February 2008 05:07 AM

well considering how the competition is very fierce these days its quite an accomplishment for her to reach #1 on the world charts. congrats to her

KarenPang 14th February 2008 05:44 AM

well, it's not like... this is a koda forum ne?

Anyways, congrats I guess.

TITANIC 14th February 2008 12:39 PM

yeap..
usually 400K can top the chart...
both a best 2 also top chart `1 and 2..

but when there is US artist debut in that week, i'm sure that japanese artist cant get #1

Teyla 14th February 2008 02:23 PM

congrats to Koda

I think they can.

It seems like American artists have low but still very consistent sales for a very long time (Think "ALL SINGLES BEST" by Kobukuro), while typically it seems that Japanese albums get a majority of their sales in their first week.

Like Jeez, there are some really old albums on the world Charts, while every week you may see a new Japanese artist, while the old ones fall quickly.
