This is doing amazing in several places  Who woulda thought a month ago. She definitely needs some European promo though.

Woah!
The only thing that's annoying me a lil bit is that everyone's so fixated upon the US debut and numbers, that the rest of the world is being a little bit ignored (both by ATRL stans and her team, it seems). It's missed a #1 debut in a lot of countries where with barely lifting a finger, she could have snatched it. I'm not expecting week-long promo visits and performances, but commercials and smaller things like that could have helped. It managed #2 in AU, #3 in UK, #6 in DE, #9 in FR, #10 in JP, and so on. Still, it's a very strong digital seller (in most of these countries, it was #1 on the digital sales chart I believe).
Regardless, I think charts are something to be celebrated when they indicate success, and all but ignored when they come up a little poorer - because at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. It's just a little frustrating to see it do so well in the biggest music market, because that really does mean that the same could have occurred with a more global focus.
