LMAO :yes

don't know who yui is, i'll youtube her! :D

The big releases that will count for the Oricon July are:
Hamasaki Ayumi (6.21)
Porno Graffiti (6.28)
ENDLICHERI ENDLICHERI (6.28)
Mr. Children (7.5)
GLAY (7.12)
Koichi Domoto (7.12)
KAT-TUN (7.19)
Ketsumeishi (7.19)

Out of all those, I would say Mr. Children will beat Ayu and most likely KAT-TUN and GLAY.

rofl, Ayu gets all the love in the world. YUI deserves some love XD

I think its YUI's movie. Think of how HEAVEN bounced from like 12 to 7 like a few weeks after release.. :p

People are watching and getting hooked on it.

BLUE BIRD sold 48，390 this week, making a total of 208，962 copies sold so far!

hmmn.. i was hoping for 60K this week (like STEP you's second week sales). Nonetheless it's pretty good :D.

^ That's amazing!

It didn't break 60k...a little disappointed.

2nd week sales 48,390 :(

2 weeks total sales 208,962 :)

I find that crazy =o

Really nice sales.

Wow, it dropped more than 60%.. x__x
I hope you're right.. *adds in first post*

god...it dropped so quickly!!!!! i mean the sales..

I don't think it's that big of a drop considering how much her LAST single dropped.. omg. XD

Poor Startin'. I still loveee you <3

I think 300k copies is very likely for this single, but it's hard to tell untill we get the 3rd week sales.

Startin' Daily Ranking Tread.

2OO6/7/4,BLUE BIRD dropped to No.14 ,because a lot of latest singles released.....:(

Startin' was at 7th in the 3rd week, but it probably had way less competition.

I don't think they'll sell a million but I think they're going to sell more than 250k-300k in their 1st week... So that means it will most likely sell more than Ayu in their 1st week alone.

^Yup, seeing how KAT-TUN is the biggest boyband around these days. I'm not too sure about GLAY outselling Ayu, but Ketsumeishi, Mr Children and ENDLICHERI ENDLICHERI probably.

XD XD XD. blue bird just fell to Number 14 XD

yay rip slyme has two singles in the top 3! XD awesome.. still Mr.Children ranked first

Oh no ... I hope the single can get back up again on the charts!
