There is more than one artist with this name:
1) 권보아 (BoA Kwon) is a singer/dancer with a slight R&B edge to her music. Originally from South Korea, BoA was discovered at the age of 11 as part of a nationwide talent search. She followed her 2nd oldest brother to an SM Entertainment office where he was auditioning to become a singer. Unfortunately, BoA was discovered instead. While securing great popularity in Korea, she has also managed great success in the Japanese music industry. In 2001, at the tender age of 13, she released her début single “ID; Peace B” to the Japanese market. Her début single demonstrated surprising talent for someone so young. Her success has been partly due to her abilities to quickly learn the Japanese and English languages. This is also the reason for some of her songs having a large number of alternate versions (various language and remix combinations). BoA has released a number of albums in both Korea and Japan, remaining popular with a mixture of infectious upbeat melodies and sweeping ballads. She is currently promoting in Japan with her latest album, “The Face” that later reached #1 on the Oricon Charts. BoA is also planning to début in the US in mid-2008.
2) Boa was a ’70s Rock band who released the album Wrong Road in 1971 and re-released in 1998 on 180 gram vinyl lp. BOA recorded Wrong Road on a Sony TC-200 in a Tupperware warehouse.
3) Boa is Croatian art-rock band which was especially prominent during the 1980s.

ia with ItsALICKS; Promotion hasn't taken off yet, I'm sure the video / song aren't played on TV or radios yet; they need to play the song and video, they don't expect people to log in to iTunes and download the song randomly n.n

v: this was assumed from my Japanese cousins, I have no factual proof or reasoning other than that. :)

Neiana05 wrote:
You're technically "1 year" at birth, for several Asian countries. My assumption (since I've heard conflicting/various ideologies concerning...) is that it's because you are entering your first year of birth. Whereas the western world counts you as 1 when you've completed that year.

By the way, Korean birthdays have something to do with counting the 9months that you've been in the womb and something else I'm not sure of. It's not just add two years to a birth on the Christian calender. -_-

boa hasn't ~*~failed~*~ in the american music market... she hasn't done shit yet. imo when/if REAL promotions start and still no one cares, then you can say she's a flop. but idk, i can't really think of any artist being a huge success from releasing one single.
