The week surrounding the release of her self-titled debut international album saw Charice turning 18, appearing on Oprah, smashing through the Billboard dance charts, and keeping her own expectations about U.S. success guarded in an interview with the New York Daily News.
In the past week, Charice's single 'Pyramid' took the top slot in the Billboard Dance/Club Play chart, beating out reigning 'Rude Boy' by Rihanna. The Filipina's single hit number one after sitting at number four last week.
In a an interview with the Daily News, Charice demurred about the possibilities of U.S. mainstream success. "If your album does become a big seller in the U.S., you'll become the first Asian ever to become a major pop singer here. There hasn't even been one who was born here, let alone from another country."
"It's really hard to go international, so that's why I'm not expecting it right now. I love the record, but I don't know if it will go far."
Check out footage from Charice's fourth appearance on Oprah, performing her chart-topping single 'Pyramid' with Iyaz, after the jump.
