MANILA, Philippines - Filipina singer Charice continues to reap success outside the country with her international debut album reaching Gold status in Thailand recently.

Her mother Raquel Pempengco happily tweeted about it on Nov. 9.

“Congratulation[s] Charice! Your album reached gold status in Thailand with 7000+ copies Woot Woot! At the top baby :D,” she posted.

Blogger Carlo dela Rosa affirmed the news in his entry on the same day, saying that he obtained the confirmation from a Warner Music Thailand executive.

The performance of Charice’s eponymous CD has been doing well in Thailand for the past few months. Last August, Carlo blogged about the album’s sales and chart performance.

“When asked for the overall album sales, they already sold 4,000+ copies! Not bad for an Asian artist who’s making a debut in the international arena,” he wrote.

And just 3,000 more copies and Charice’s album---which also went to number one in Thailand’s music stores for a few weeks---will hit the Platinum mark, added Carlo.

The “Glee” star is also enjoying a strong following in the said country, as she reportedly received astounding accolades from thousands of fans who watched her in the Thailand leg of the “David Foster and Friends” concert last Oct. 25.

Last month, Charice’s album was certified Gold in Japan, selling 100,000 copies. It is considered to be a rare achievement for a foreign artist, since local artists generally dominate Japan’s music charts.

Charice flew to the US on Nov. 10 after more than a week-long vacation in the Philippines. The 18-year old singing sensation will be busy fulfilling her commitments, including shooting for “Glee,” working on her second album, and preparing for the star-studded NBC “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” special.

While Charice will be in the States, one of her international friends, singer-songwriter David Archuleta, will visit Manila for the second time to promote his new album, “The Other Side Of Down.”

In a recent live chat, the “Americal Idol” Season 7 runner-up expressed his excitement over seeing his Filipino fans again. Recall that he, together with Season 7 grand winner David Cook, held a back-to-back concert in Manila last May 2009.

David will touch down in Manila on Nov. 16. He is scheduled to hold a mall show at the SM City North EDSA Skydome on the 17th.
