I do remember there being promotions for the song One Track Mind. Yeah...first sales are not really important. I think that there are so many singers, and they have really large fanbases.

Yes there are. But they don't sell really well - because the albums are out, they just buy the albums instead of the singles. The point is, is that the PVs for the best songs on the albums, the radio play, the promotion etc etc. Only happens after the album has been released and directly before the release. In the US it is much more geared towards the sale of albums, in Japan it is geared towards the sale of the singles.
