Seeka 12,372 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Fantome, Utada Hikaru's first completely Japanese album, si doing better than any of her other English releases ever did. "It has been two days since the official release of Utada Hikaru‘s latest album Fantôme, and like fans, the singer-songwriter herself is surprised at how well it has been received worldwide. At the time of writing this, the album currently charting at #1 in 6 countries (including Finland…?), 8 countries in the top 10, and charting in a total of 28 countries worldwide on iTunes. Which isn’t bad at all for a Japanese-language album that isn’t being promoted outside of East Asia." "Half her tweets the past few days have just been her confused about the fact she has been charting outside of Asia. As time progressed, the tweets got more and more confused; from “what does this mean?” to “what the hell?” when she saw it went #3 in the US. The question is, where were y’all during the This Is The One era?" "In Japan, Fantôme went directly to #1 on Oricon, iTunes and Recochoku. In two days, the album has sold 137,000 copies on the physical album charts, with a sales difference of less than 2,000 units against media-pitted rivals EXILE, who released a best album a day prior and are promoting multiple purchases with three CD editions and bonus purchase incentives. It’s true Utada Hikaru has not had a huge, full-length album release since digital music sales became huge. Until now, there really wasn’t a quantifiable way for her to gauge her celebrity worldwide, especially after the commercial failures of her two English-language albums following her Japanese debut. This is all new to Hikki, and it’s cute." Yay for Hikki! I'm getting Fantome today actually. Not legally but... i has no money. But I will still love the music.
