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.
