And congrats to Utada for adding yet another Record under her belt. If anyone could do it, she could. I knew once the Physical Album was released, the difference between just a DIGITAL release and a PHYSICAL release would be shown.

Where did BoA's Album debut?

Imagine if she hadn't got sick and did her promotions. She may have been able to get in the top 50 or 40.

P.S.> Some pages ago someone asked what Utada was saying at the end of "Beautiful World". They thought it was "Lonely Boy". Well I was listening to it tonight. She says, "It's Only Love".

thank god it showed people the difference...I was tired of the stupid "hikki's album has been released already" arguement. tis ridiculous...anyway...

I don't really understand why they promote after either...I dont understand why they need to have a single to promote? Why can't they promote right off the album? *is confused* I don't know...I never really paid attention to american release schedules.
