it is so weird to see a japanese singers on the list, nevertheless, congra. to them.

Haha, I love her songs.
<3

Wow, Britney didn't do that well compared to other female artists in the US, but her worldwide sales trump everyone else. Go Britney!

WOW.
Britney came at the end of the year and she's able to take #1.
wow.
i have that album

wow.
all these are impressive. Taylor Swift, impressive.
i have that album too

THANKS!!

This chart is based on first-week sales. If it was cumulative sales, I'm sure Britney wouldn't be #1.

congrats to Hamasaki
she appears twice in the list
she rocks

NOTE THAT THEsE ALBUMS ARE JAPANESE ALBUMS SO ITS ONLY 1 COUNTRIES FIRST WEEK SALES..
the rest are the first week sales around the world added together

First week sales are cute, but cumulative sales is what it's all about.

The sad thing is all those albums debuted at #1 except for ayaka's (and Ayu's but she had a double week anyway). And her's debuted higher than 3 of them. Awww.

ayaka didn't get her 1# weekly because her competitor was strong, but her album index number was big for a first week that why she topped the others.

I know... why'd she have to release on the week GReeeeN did?

BRITNEY really rocks..
she might not have the best attitude but you can never count her out
its amazing how she makes good music
after all shes not just a singer (i believe she's not) but a total performer
she entertains

Yay for Amuro! Best Fiction stayed at #1 for so long on Oricon.
