Maybe the album will go US style and chart for a really long time as long as there are singles and PV's being released.

but it doesn't matter anyway, what really matters is her American sales
"Utada.jp has updated today with a list of Japanese magazines that will be carrying stories on Utada in the coming month. Check it out for the full list.

*日本でのメディア露出情報

「WHAT’s IN?」(2/14)
「CDでーた」(2/14)
「CDジャーナル」(2/20)
「i-Pod Fan」(2/21)
「Zipper」(2/23)
「smart」(2/24)
「CHOKI CHOKI」(2/24)

「In Red」(3/7)
「S-Cawaii!」(3/7)

「VA for TSUTAYA RECORDS」(3/20)

Definitely not a small amount of magazine articles. 17 magazine articles.
I do wonder why people aren't as curious like they were in EXODUS since This Is The One is totally different from it in everything (except for being in english).
