List of artists who have achieved Japan and U.S. number-one hits

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.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.

Note: On Billboard Japan and Oricon official website, "Summer Madness" lacks description of "featuring Afrojack" in spite of Official Avex website includes him as featured Artist.

[24] The single released by same artists in 2019, "SCARLET" that reached No.1 on Billboard Japan Hot 100 was given the description of "feat.Afrojack" on the website.
