"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!

source: mediatraffic.de

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

Very true, buuut... I think this isn't thread-worthy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
