I'm not sure how but four days later I am already completely addicted to this extended album. I am very excited to see sales stats for the first week.. If anyone knows where to find this information then please post it!

Everything about the album I was completely unsure about. The title seemed self righteous, the single seemed too mainstream.. But now it all makes sense. Utada doesn't disappoint. She never has. I consider myself the failure in this regard. I like all tracks but Poppin and Dirty Desire..

I'm still pissed about not getting a poster from FYE

She's actually doing better then expected on the Amazon sales charts:
She is #46 on mp3 albums sales and #117 on the physical side.

To put that in a little perspective:

Ciara who released her album a week before Hikki and is a fairly popular R&B artist is #268 on physical albums.

Keri Hilson who released her album digitally on the same day as Hikki did is at #120.

BoA? well....she is #2,556 and #2,735 respectively.

So according to these Amazon numbers not only is she holding her own against a couple of female pop heavyweights but she is outselling them, at least on Amazon.

Also she is #84 on Itunes Pop albums charts, this is after nearly 2 months after it's debut.
Not bad for a "Japanese artist nobody has heard of".

There are no Billboard sales figures are out yet but with numbers like these I hope they translate into a spot on the Billboard Top 100 albums.

Which would make Music history I believe.
Unless there was another Asian artist or group that has done that which I'm not aware of.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and make a crazy prediction, she debuts #55 on the Billboard Top 200 albums.

I've listened to part of Ciara's new album, and I really don't think it's quality (at least compared to her album "Evolution," which came out a few years ago). So the fact that Hikki is ahead of her is no surprise to me.

I tried to think of another Asian artist who might have made it big in the U.S. ...and I can't think of one either.

All in all, I'm extremely pleased, and I can't wait to get my hands on the CD...
