Singer/songwriter Utada Hikaru’s latest studio album, Fantôme, went platinum by Japanese standards (250,000 sales) within very little time of it being released.
Recorded between 2012 and 2016, Fantôme is Hikaru’s first full album released since she announced her indefinite hiatus in 2010.
Now it’s quadrupled those sales, hitting the US standard for a platinum seller — Hikaru’s first million-seller since First Love in 1999.
