Western artists were never great physical singles sellers in Japan, the last single that went gold (100,000 copies) was in 2002 (??) I think. Yeah but those are local artist who are there and promote their stuff all of the time. And singles by local artists also have many other features such as posters, concert tickets, million b-sides, Gaga had neither.
