Mr. Duff Posted October 26, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lille Posted October 27, 2022 Share 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.

Capruni Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Wow. It’s a great achievement get a #1 single there. Not everyone has that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genius1111 Posted October 27, 2022 Share 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.
