Well, this is only the Billboard Charts though.

I'm not here for a thread full of Billboard Japan. I need some Oricon.

Run The World and Check It Out!

Gaga with two top tens
Girls and Judas beeing smash hits there

Billboard isn't really a factor in Japan like it is in the U.S.
Oricon and recochoku is where you need to look if your wondering what's smashing in Japan and what isn't.
