i think no choice for ayu can surpass kobukuro again..
her decrease indicator very big..

A Song for XX - 5 Weeks #1
LOVEppears - 3 consecutive weeks #1
Duty - 4 consecutive weeks #1
RAINBOW - 3 consecutive weeks #1.

ayumisrael : is that only ayu and hikki can top the chart for more than 4 weeks??
i juz know for female ayu behind hikki that have 8 consecutive weeks #1

hikki has no album with 8 consecutive weeks at #1.
First Love is the most with 6 weeks and it's the best selling japanese album overall so it's not surprising XD.

UPPSss.
sorry..
i mean 6 week at #1..
i want to ask after hikki and ayu do you know who else top the chart for more than 3 weeks??

Nope, there might be though of course...
Maybe someone else here knows?

As was mentioned, Kumi's Black Cherry was #1 for 4 weeks.


Anyway, if I were to be completely honest, I'd rather have a chart trajectory that goes 1-3-9-16-538, than 2-2-[etc]. :(

The most recent 5 female studio albums to have the "4 or more consecutive weeks at #1" title

2007: Koda Kumi - "Black Cherry" (4 weeks)
2000: Hamasaki Ayumi - "Duty" (4 weeks)
1997: Ohguro Maki - "POWER OF DREAMS" (4 weeks)

1988: Watanabe Misato - "ribbon" (4 weeks)

Also, Hikki's SINGLE COLLECTION went 4 consecutive weeks at #1 in 2004.

sigh..kobukuro will get number one position again...MIRACLE PLEASE COME!!!

Thankies ayu_fan! I know about these.

Do you have the most recent consecutive female singles list?

I'd be happy enough to know that Ayu stayed #2 for the 3rd week.

If the first week was counted, it would have been #1 > #2 > #2... which is not bad at all.

As always, Ayu's sales aren't steady. Going from 8000 to 5000.

"Secret" sold 50,293 copies on it's 3rd week. "GUILTY" can beat that. :yes

i think this album is probably more sturdy in the japanese music industry. it just seems that more people would like it...it's more like her pre-(m)u stuff

Yup. People don't know how much Kobukuro is awesome. They are so japanese, they are so catchy, lmao.

I never listen to Kobukuro.. but I have their recent album..

btw Cloud_Honey, I love your avatar and signature!!

i listen 4-5 songs of kobukuro (winding road too) and i hate this music...

I downloaded their album to give them a try...and the album's pretty good. I love Kazamidori...can't stop listening to it. I've been going back and forth with GUILTY tracks and this song...lol

Hopefully the sales will increase or else she might not sell over 500k by this week.

Kimi to Iu Nano Tsubasa and Suinen no Chou are my favorites <333333333

^It's not that I hate them or dislike them but I'm afraid that....that if I listen to them....I MIGHT FALL IN LUV WITH THEM! :eyes

I don't know if you'll like them Shannee coz they are folk, not pop.

I listened to 5296 last night fully and i have to say it is good lol...

Now must try ALL SINGLES BEST :X!!!! i think i'm gonna love them too...


BUT i still wish ayu got #1 XD!
