Utada Hikaru fails to break into US with yet another album.
Utada Hikaru’s album “This is the One” failed to break the US market when it was released 5 months ago.
This was her third attempt to woo American listeners, herself being a college dropout of Columbia University and native of New York City. Her first attempt to enter the American market was “Exodus”, which sold around only 55,000 copies, a low number compared to her success in Japan, where she has sold over 26 million.
Will she ever succeed in making it big in the US or will Americans continue to give her the cold shoulder?
