^ i think it is two different list!

iTunes count for full single/album (PC) downloads, artists barely get certifications for these since in Japan mainly chaku uta and chaku uta FULL are popular.

^ so does that mean that itunes really isn't popular?
and instead they have this other form to download music?

awesome! (and omg Days Live is BACK!)

Ah, it went down! I guess it was bound to fall sooner or later... wish it would just do it... years... from now.. lol

Oh, I see. But I'm glad, it does pretty good there, though!

amazing !! :D

Well, the artists who top that are enormous digital sellers (or digi+physical) sellers so it's somewhat comforting (AKB48, kana nishino, GreeeeeN).

how beautiful you are has the potential to reach platinum for chaku uta full.

that's good news! I wish she would have one more hit or something... lol
Wishful thinking, but I'm glad how far she has come and stuff... and I think she will still do concerts for years to come, even if she only sells 10k singles and albums...

Ok, I didn't see this. Now that's annoying.

It'll probably fluctuate a lot while the drama is still showing. I bet it'll go back up again next week.

pretty sure everytime the new episode shows it will get boosted?

wow..going down quiet a lot...
I hope it will rise when the promotion start

sadly avex seems to be relying solely on the drama and regular digital single CMs, instead of releasing the PV and getting her to perform on the shows.


We can only hope so. both progress and FIVE would've sold better if she had just a couple more live performances.

^ and here i thought with progress being tied in with the tales game (which should beautifully) FIVE would of done much better...

But i guess over 200K with only five songs was decent.

It was really good especially if we look at the sales of other female artists of which some have peaked quite recently. Still I am sure if they tried to promote progress more at least the chaku-uta full could've sold enough to be certified platinum.

now I'm happy to see it flop. no offence, I just feel this song doesn't deserve to be the highlight of the album. her vocal is just so bad and irritate my ears although the music itself is great. I like Party Queen much better than How Beautiful You Are.
