lepetitmonstr Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 It's a really hard market to break, especially for albums that sound like folklore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellars Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Amazing coming for Top 5 next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepetitmonstr Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Anyways she will probably still be the best selling female this year worldwide unless Adele releases of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbannature Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 That’s amazing for three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alestevens Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 It will likely improve when they push the physicals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterstyles13 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Japan's market is almost entirely based on physicals so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MardinBeksloy Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 before yall come for taylor, Japanese music market is still 80-90% physical, meaning people buying copies at the store, so with covid19 and this being digital format only, it is bounce to happen.

Hector Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Interestingly enough, it did make #8 on Billboard Japan's Hot Albums chart: http://www.billboard-japan.com/charts/detail?a=hot_albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_13 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not bad considering they're more physical based market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptique Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I think it's because JAPAN is not into "folk" sound.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe&Sound Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 They should bundle it with WANEGBT (folk version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gui Blackout Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 This is kinda amazing since there's no physical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchyisback Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 One of the 2 Asian countries with real receipts. Looking forward to the South Korean numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call Spotify numbers fake in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Maleysia, India and Philippines where she broke album debut records or China digital sales which acknowledged by IFPI, GUINESS or Bilboard but you do you. Thankfully Folklore is smashing in all over Asia in Spotify and AM as well. Edited July 29, 2020 by Artistofthedecade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
