Yes it is. I mean, it's much much less than Born This Way sales, but she had promo and a huge lead single back then. She's currently outselling Avril Lavigne, who is huge in Japan, and she will debut at #1, not very common for an english album there.

Oh that's cool! Yeah I still remember Born This Way was huge when it released in Japan, but sales changes according to time and promotion too.

If I'm not mistaken Utada's Exodus is still the highest selling English album in Japan? Or the record has been broken?

I don't know, I didn't even know about Utada's record! But it makes sense, the album may be in English but she's a japanese singer, and a very successful one
