I remember last year, the second week of the double week, 9mm parabellum bullet's single Inochi no Zenmai was no. 1 all through the week, with sales of like 1000 every day, but in the combined week it was like no. 8. Pretty sure it'll happen again XD

so maybe there is a chance for ayu to get another #1 week!? Considering that "No Sleeves" will sell like 50k, ayu got the chance to sell around it too, let's cross fingers *--*

R'n'r circus sold around 45k in the second week and considering that Love song'll sell less so i think the chance for Ayu to get #1's quite low !

i thought that UTADA SINGLE COLLECTION VOL. 2 would flop cos of its debut week sales but omg the sales are great and it's already double-platinum for the shipment of 500,000 copies!! *--* go-Hikki

She always sells double her debut week anyway.

Another very un-interesting week looming by :O

I guess things wouldn't pick up until 19th Jan 2011 8D

i hope ayu can stay strong among these new releases

usually there will alot of strong artist release an album or single but not this year

from what I'm seeing at my end , the only release that might trigger massive big sales is when ARASHI will drop their ARASHI 10-11 TOUR "Scene" ~Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fukei~ DVD on 26th Jan

but other artistes who will be releasing singles & albums who I support/listen to , they're not really considered as strong sellers .__.

After the first three weeks, there are tons of strong sellers, though! RADWIMPS, EXILE, Shota Shimizu, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Kobukuro, YUI, Bump of Chicken, Tokyo Jihen, Yamashita Tomohisa, KAT-TUN, AAA... lots to look forward to!

outta all the artistes you listed down , I think EXILE will be the 1 that might outsell everyone :p

wouldn't surprise me if their new album will get another million selling effort . Most of the Johnny's except ARASHI have been selling lesser & lesser of their material as time goes by , even though Kanjani8 has raise to the occasion last year <3

After Akanishi Jin left KAT-TUN officially , KAT-TUN's not able to move sales as easily as they used to but who cares , CHANGE UR WORLD was every >>>>>>>>> over Going ! anytime of the day , I want to hear ULTIMATE WHEELS now LOL

Haha, I'm kind of depending on EXILE to sell over a million now, considering the only ones who managed to last year were Arashi (who might do it again) and ikimonogakari who will be away for half of the year. I'm sure they'll manage though : P

Why is it that there are no real releases until the end of January / February? It's so boring. :<

this can help ayu sales *-*

not very interesting still :x , waiting for mid Jan to swing by now

Well, RADWIMPS is a good start XD. At least their singles sell around 75k in total, so it should make the single chart a bit more interesting.

Gloria by Goto Maki is on top 3 with 22k *0* I hope it sells good :D

Ninki doesn't predict actual SALES. the 22.00 stands for a number of people in a larger group (something like 600 or so) that they interviewed and that expressed interest in the album. This doesn't mean they think the album will actually sell 22,000 copies.

Good luck Maaya on next week album chart!

i know... but it will sell around it.. like 10,000~15,000 copies maybe, ayu's prediction was 200,000 and she sold like 180,000 =]

I know what NINKI is ^^
