Really? I thought GUILTY got #1 in the first week, but then Kobukuro had a super boost during GUILTY's second week which managed to overtake GUILTY, causing GUILTY to get #2 when you count 2 weeks together.

^-Yeah, but since the two weeks together were counted as the first week, she in the eyes of Oricon didn't get #1 for her first week.

ETA: but I guess that's basically what you're saying so no need for my response really. xD

Congratulations Ayu~ Gambatte! ♥

BUT, in 2005, she didn't get #1. MY STORY was #1 at the end of 2004, MY STORY Classical got #4 in 2005.
The following link is the list of #1 ALBUMS in 2005, but ayu's album is not listed (sorry the site is written in Japanese)

Umm,, can someone explain what Oricon actually means??

Oricon is the main chart in Japan, just like Billboard is on the US. It measures how popular new releases are depending on how well they sell, and that´s from we get the sale numbers and positions. It´s a HUGE institution in the Japanese music industry, with great power inside it and its own rules and little tricks xD It´s website is more of a musical entertainment site, more than just showing the charts, and they have their own system to rule years and releases, so that´s why it´s tricky to learn about it at the beginning. But it is a key element in the J-Pop industry! Their website is: www.oricon.co.jp/

amazing news! i hope ayu will be number one for years to come!

Hell yeah!!! Congrats 2 AYU, Ayu has been, is still, & will keep being # 1. Theres a reason they call her The Empress of Japanese Pop.

Ayu rocks!!!

WOW!^^ Ayu is so amazing, congrats!^^

For those who are having trouble understanding still: The record is that she has had a #1 album in every year since her debut for a solo female artist. There are still other female artists that have had more #1 albums than her, but they didn't debut at number one with their first albums. For those who are having trouble understanding still: The record is that she has had a #1 album in every year since her debut for a solo female artist. This doesn't include male or group artists.

YAY AYU! You're the best!

AWESOME!! Congrats Ayu!
