How would Asia be added? Not a single pop girl has a #1 in Japan (most don't even release physical singles there) and Gaon JUST came out in 2010.
And WOWWWW @ J. Lo. I know she had payola in the U.S. but her success outside of the U.S. was entirely organic and I'm genuinely shocked she had one #1 outside the U.S..... let alone a ridiculous amount
Slay!

The Japan Hot 100 is a more reliable and accurate measure than the Oricon charts - the most popular with the Japanese industry - because the latter measures only physical sales.
Celine Dion is the only western female to reach #1 on the Oricon sales charts since 1995 with "To Love You More." The only songs prior to that were the Flashdance title track and "Those Were the Days" by Mary Hopkin.

Noooooo!! Absolutely mother****ing not. The Japan Hot 100 is almost as embarrassing as the K-Pop Hot 100. While Oricon might not have radio factored in, it actually represents who people listen to whereas their digital charts are more random and just lately finding popularity.
