lonnie Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 10 minutes ago, Mr. Stratus said: It is crazy how much she seems to have made little noise there. Most of these huge eras with multiple IFPI singles scratch Japan too 3 minutes ago, GoodGuyGoneGhetto said: It genuinely wasn’t. “21” simply wasn’t pushed in Japan at all and the only, mildly successful single there was “Someone Like You”. However; like you said, no one can have everything. Although it was a different time, massive western artists such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles etc. were mostly commercial non-events in Japan too (although TB have good catalog sales there). This is genuinely shocking. I'd assume 21 would follow as one of those big ballad-centered eras that did well in Japan as was the case with Mariah and Celine in the 90s. A missed opportunity by her team if they didn't push it there because 21 selling more in smaller markets with less populations like Switzerland and New Zealand than it did in Japan is just mind-blowing With The Beatles and Elvis I assume Japan hadn't quite become the massive music market it is back then?

Blankspace2010 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Avril having 3 diamond albums, Gaga having 1 diamond album. The rest for diamond albums this century? N/A!
Blankspace2010 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 If the thread was; MPGs Diamond Albums in Japan this Century 1. Avril Lavigne (3) 2. Gaga (1) No others
JO BLACC Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 You said this century so the top 10 would look weird like this why not career totals? If even Glitter and Charmbracelet is here, i’m sure Mariah would be on the top of the list. Weird thread tbh.

Blankspace2010 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 How far off is self titled from platinum status in Japan? @ProudLBSRock n Roll, How You Remind Me and Bad Reputation were three big hits there from that era. Surely the album did well?

Because her first 3 albums sold over 1M copies in Japan and it’s the name of the certification 100,000 for Gold 250,000 for Platinum 1,000,000 for Million

How many physicals did self titled sell? Didn’t it have an OKish first week like 25-30k? Oh it can’t go platinum because physicals are no longer available

zzmyth Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 The fact that Rih's second best selling album there is MUSIC OF THE SUN.... Just shows how weird and different the Japanese market is. Anyway she has sold over a million albums in her career there, so she definitely has had pretty good success in Japan too.

I recall Red going platinum there in December 2012, only around 1.5 months after release, even though it had only sold 106,000 copies by that week, and didn't hit 250,000 copies sold until mid-November 2013. Similarly 1989 went platinum in April 2015, when it had only sold 199,000 copies, and it hit 250,000 copies in September 2015. I don't think Avril's label will pay for it, but it is more than eligible for platinum there.
