Global queens.

You double posted the thread mate Edit: Wait sorry, never mind

Carly is truly GLOBAL

I wanted to say the same.

something more:

1. She is the best non asian artist in her weakest market and this in her second year.

2.The sales in Japan are like everywhere in the gutter.

Ayu made the list three times
