Quote:
Strangely enough we see Lady Gaga’s album, even after her visit to Japan and all of her love expressions towards the people, still not making the top 10 in Japan. Furthermore noticeable is the fact that Avril Lavigne is the only western singer who made an appeal large enough to rock herself into the Japanese top 10 rankings of the first half of 2011.
