Mr. Duff Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Glad You Came? I'm so surprised but oof, go The Wanted! I love this song, so happy for them. Bleeding Love is an insane classic, Leona deserved so much. I seriously hope that song gets a Tik Tok revival somehow, I still love it now. Born This Way I'm not really too fond of but I know it was huge back in the day. Good for Gaga.

Lille Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" also peaked at #2 (mysteriously missing from your p.s. list), and is one of the longest charting and biggest Western singles of all time in Japan.

I was confused as to why they omitted it
Capruni Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Wow. It’s a great achievement get a #1 single there. Not everyone has that!
Genius1111 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 This chart started only in 2008, so that explains the absence of Avril in the #1 list. She must have scored quite a number of hits in the early 00s. Honestly surprised at GYC grabbing that #1. I did not expect them to be that big in Japan or in non-English-speaking Asia.
