135,410 to be exact!

Avril coming for those album sales

Rihanna has sold 78k copies of Loud in total in Japan, since November. She's doing ok there

OMG congrats

She came so close but she still couldn't top Queen Koda Kumi:

It's funny, cause there's a video of Avril giving her advice on how to top the charts, and now she has topped Avril by 3k sales LOL!

But it's not about the chart positions, it's about the sales, and RCA will be happy that they have an album seller signed Too bad they only have two more albums left in her!

So damn close, still good numbers

Great numbers!

Although I wish she was selling 85-90k in Japan and 135k in the US, for her career's sake.

If you're thinking of the video I'm thinking of, that wasn't Koda Kumi.

Yea, that wasn't Koda Kumi. It was Itano Tomomi who recently released her first single as a solo artist. She's part of the very successful J-Pop group AKB48.

Koda Kumi doesn't need any advice on topping the charts lol. She's been doing it for years and is one of Japan's most popular female artists.

Lol Advice? Kumi been topping the album charts back to back since 06,I don't think she needs it.

Anywho congrats to both the ladies. (Dejavu is amazing)

Ooops sorry! They look similar

And RCA don't care where the sales are coming from? Why is it better to have higher sales in U.S.? It doesn't matter

awesome and it wouldnt surprise me if she goes no.1 next week like TBDT did

Great sales.

congrats!!!

Is there a list of best sales weeks for international artists over there? Or at least a list for the past few years?

I'm so happy for her, It makes up for the US.
I've never been a fan of her or her music but I hate to see artists underperform, I mean music is their life and what buy them food (for the most).

Not that I know of. But if there was, you would no doubt see Mariah Carey at the top followed by Avril and various Korean artists at different spots.

Edit- Oh and Madonna

YASSSS Koda

This is for all the Avril fans thinking they could top Ms. Kumi
