Imagine the sales, performances and looks had she promoted there. This is so good to see that Japan didnt drop her because they werent living for the haggery era. I want her to become BTW era huge in Japan again.

I do not consider gaga daily to be a reliable source but still good for miss gaga

It helps that this decade has only had three years in its belt

tbf Western artists have become irrelevant in Japan so I wouldn’t be surprised if Chromatica is still number one by the end of the decade.

I'm curious to see the actual source though.

I believe the certifications there are based on pure sales (by that logic it's not eligible for gold - 100k units).

What's the actual source?

Why would a K-pop group help the album in JAPAN?

KPop groups literally put out Japanese albums and play stadiums there  BLACKPINK sold more tickets in Japan than Gaga did on their last tours

Japan has always loved Gaga and been one of her key markets her whole career

It has surpassed 100,000 units on the combined chart on Oricon, however, you need to be charting in the top 50 to get an updated number. When her team issued a tour edition of the album in 2022 it was able to re-enter the top 50 and we could see the updated numbers. It probably is the the MPG album that has moved the most units there this decade but it's hard to be specific because we can't see the data. I think folklore is probably the runner up. Maybe Midnights now tho.

 

It has sold around ~30,000 physical copies and ~10,000 digital copies iirc so you're right on the certification point.

Spoiler

 not quite true that it all bombed, liddos tend to be harsh when its' not popga calling things local etc - C2C did really well there ASIB sold 40-60k pure (it just didn't have a hit), HMH won a gold disc

 

Gaga has audience in Japan, and push comes to shove they'd go for the old 2000's EDM pop era thing - reminds me a bit of  of MDNA teas with the france-italy-japan and collabs carrying

>90% of the sales are contributed by BLACKPINK where BLINKS will just buy anything with BLACKPINK attached into it, so good for gaga i guess
