:yes This is the first Utada album not to debut at #1. However, this is still technically an "Utada" album, and not an ”宇多田ヒカル” album.

^ still....didn't Exodus pass the 1m mark?

:yes it did , in Japan ie.

she really working it...hope her album can get a better sales than exodus, i mean her overseas sales...
and the thing with ryan is HUGE...really want to watch it

:yes If you are wondering why, there are many raisins why TITO isn't doing as well:

#1 It was released on a Saturday
#2 It has had no promotion, while Exodus had TV performances, tie-ins, etc.
#3 It is an English-language album in a country where over 99% of the population don't completely understand the language
#4 Sales in 2004 were much higher than today. Don't forget, that year was also the year that SCV1 sold over 2.5 million. :yes

So I think it's grate that she's even selling at all!

Don't forget, though, that it's not important how it sells in Japan. It's all about America.

This is The One back up to number five today! :yes

Also, just realised Utada Hikaru has over 10,000,000 scrobbles on last.fm!

So yay for that! :tipsy

:yes you are right!

:laugh

Grr... I missed her on The End.

Hey guys! Hikki is now #9 on the Top 10 songs on KSFM (Sacramento).

ahh! That's great!

I am really starting to feel more and more confident about CBTM's ability to climb the charts... I think we might see an actual hit. Maybe just a minor one, but a hit nonetheless. :heart

If one more person uses a :yes on this page I'm gonna go blind hahaha

^I don't think she will be there in person/ But she will at the Sephora events (NY one is Wed). I can't wait to meet Utada on Wednesday!

ooooohmg that's AWESOME NEWS!!

thanks!!! made my day!

Dude...I am expecting a full report. With pictures and everything! :shakehead

^HAha Definitely! I'm planning on bringing my digital camera of course, but I may bring my video camera too! Haha I told my host family I stayed with in japan this past summer that i was probably going to meet her and they went balisstic haha.

OMG okay that's cool! TAKE PICTURES if you can. :D

...I just had the brilliant idea to hop on a bus from Boston to New York on Wednesday. O__O

Seriously, how often does an opportunity like this come up? And what is spring break for if not impromptu road trips to conduct celebrity sightings?

EDIT: Does anyone have that ridiculously HQ promo pic that was posted sometime around the release of Come Back To Me's cover? She doesn't have that ridiculous outfit on, though...she may have been wearing purple. Don't quite remember. I just remember it was big!
