also check the last week's chart here
You will find it look totally different from int'l charts in your country. If compared to the UK and US charts that I'm quite familiar with, the following things can be significant:
- The biggest difference should be that there are two titles which you're never familiar with (I'm not either!). SHINee and 2ne1 are both Korean pop idols. Korean Pop (so-called K-POP) is huge I guess not only in Japan, but also everywhere in East and South East Asia for the last 5 years or so. It's phenomenal but I can't discuss enough this time. Maybe next time...
- Underworld topped the last week's int'l chart and still remained in Top 10 this week, although they reached only #26 in the UK album chart for its first week. They are I guess the artist who are now much bigger than they are in their own country.
- Another band that I'd like to mention here is Weezer, whose album entered at #8 in the oricon chart. The band is huge in the states (#6 in the US album chart for its first week) but is never going to be in the UK (it reached just #49).
- FYI Underworld and Weezer were both headliner of the Green Stage (=main stage) at Fuji Rock in 2003 and 2009 respectively.
