Information

Utada Hikaru SINGLE COLLECTION VOL.1 is Utada Hikaru's first compilation album. Songs were digitally remastered for the album, and are set out chronologically. This album reached #1 on Oricon charts for five non-consecutive weeks. It also was the third album by an Asian artist to reach #1 on global charts (and stayed on the charts for six weeks). In total, the album sold 2,586,347 units. For the final global charts of 2004, this album reached to #28.

The album is also listed on world charts as being the #6 album in terms of first week sales (which totalled 1,403,102 copies). This album became the #1 album of 2004 in Japan. It sold 4,607 copies in Korea.

The extremely high sales were interesting, as the singles collection had absolutely no new tracks or pictures in it, with the booklet just having a plain blue/white on gold theme. The only exclusive things that appear on the CD/in the booklet is that Utada wrote 'Shishunki' (思春期; puberty) on page one with a blue fountain pen, and the message on the cover:

In awe, I receive messages from the past
...lyrics that become self-prophesies,
coincidences that remind me of my destiny,
voices of singers long gone.
They tell me that whichever path I choose
will take me home.
Utada Hikaru

The singles collection 'royal design' front cover was carried on with the Korean EMI release of 1998-2005 All For You: UH Premium Single Box Set.
