It is extremely difficult for recording artists to top the charts in two countries, Japan and U.S. that have top 2 largest music markets in the world. ("Billboard" in the US and Oricon since 1967 and/or "Billboard" Japan since 2008, two major singles charts from Japan).
Since music consumption in Japan is highly domestic, it is rare that songs by oversea artists reach No.1 in Japanese charts.<BR>On the other hand, as of 2024 only Japanese song that reached No.1 in U.S. is the "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto first released in 1961 in Japan before establishment of major singles charts in Japan.
