Records
-1st time in 36.5 years that a female artist has occupied #1 and 2 in the album charts.
-TOP 2 highest 1st week album sales in the 2007 CALENDAR year.
-TOP 2 highest selling albums in the 2007 CALENDAR year.

Knew it.

I hope they fight for the top! :D

Please stay there forever!

I expected it that way, hope it keeps like that for a month or longer better n_n

coool thanks :yes

Excellent :yes

I hope they stay there too.

So it has begun :D
(I'm keeping track of this too :))

Hope they will stay there forever and wash out everything in the chart
GO AYU!!!!

yes! we did it again!!!!! (i mean.. ayu you did it again..)

Ahh...
wootXD...
yes! XD
keep it up for the next weeks + XD!!

yeah; it's definitely no surprise.. but it would be SO cool if both BLACK and WHITE got a #1 in the weekly charts (in different weeks of course). =)

I hope WHITE gets number one next week. XD

^ Me too XD

I feel weird that A BEST II -white- is Number 2...

I wonder if one of the bests will get no.1 in a much later week.. :O

Well.. I kinda doubt that will be happened. exile will definitely get no. 1 next week (march 7), then Mr. Children will get no. 1 on the week after.. so.. I dun think so..

What a crappy month set-up.

Unless WHITE/BLACK outsells EVOLUTION by like 200 copies.. :D B&D / HEAVEN all over again!

Oh yeah, if they don't that means one of them would end up Ayumi's first album to not hit #1 in the oricon charts.

Great, it's nice to have all the info in one updated thread ^^

And maybe you could add a "Total Sales" column :P

hmmn.. I assume exile's new album should be able to hold up around 300K at least on the first week, and I kinda doubt WHITE will be sold over 300K on the 2nd week.. So it's less likely to see WHITE being No. 1 afterall..

My HOPE is that sales stay slightly consistent, and still slightly above the normal sales for an album [200-300k..]~

Will EXILE be able to manage that? O_O

Glad with Ayu! I hope weekly sales will good.

Go Go Ayu! No.1 forever

I dun really know. their last album "ASIA" sold around 2??K something like that on the first week (probly 230K??). That was before SHUN left exile. Now exile has just begun their so called "SECOND STAGE" with a new vocal and a new dancer, so no one really knows how well they can sell this time. I just know there'll be three different cd covers of exile's new album.. Judging from their recent single sales, probly they can get more than 300K. Afterall they're one of the major acts in avex/Rhythmzone.

Yeah..

I suppose the WHITE version or BLACK [depending on which gets it..] will have to hold out at least 400k or something..

WOO! so happy even though it's expected.

wat
i dont think exile sales will be 300k ~
even boa didnt reach that high
and boa's album sell well than exile album
i hope white gets #1 next week too `

yeah! the race has begun!

yey! hope it stays longer than one week.... or both get no.1.

Ironic?!
 

I'm very happy for Ayu!

Hikki is also #1!

But what's ironic is, when Hikki released ULTRA BLUE, Ayu released BLUE BIRD, both getting #1! This time, it'll probably switch! xD

lol, that is ironic

No. Her remix albums haven't reached #1.

280k 1st week for ASIA. I think avex is really promoting EXILE this year for their "2nd stage". Their singles all did pretty well, all passing 100k, with one passing 200k. I think EXILE has a really good chance in getting #1 next week.

Not really. OUTGROW sold less than ASIA... (and so did their BEST album vs. BoA's).

Well ULTRA BLUE was released a week before BLUE BIRD, Hikki just got her 2nd week #1.

oh, right! well, I guess that doesn't count...but it was still nice to see them be #1 at the same time!

I was hoping for White to get #1 :( hopefully next week (although its very doubtful)

oh well. glad one of them is #1! like that wouldn't have happened :)

awesome :D cant wait to see first week sales~

oh and ayu had the record for all of her original studio albums getting number 1, therefore this isnt affecting her record because this isnt an original studio album, its a compilation album. :) (unless i misunderstood...lol)

^Yep. The streak is really only in her studio albums which is at 8.

ayu beats ayu
good

:banana2

i hope they fluctuate..so it doesnt seem so bad

yeah...hope the promotion not ended just for one week...ayu need consistent sales...my heart pumping when thinking about it. i really want ayu to have a really GOOD SALES

thank you.

it is not surprising that black sells more than white, because of the new song.

Just stay like this for eternity already! Please! Haha, I really hope that this album sells like MAD!

Mr. Children are going to kick Ayu out of the top spot for sure, but I'm really really hoping she'll be able to keep EXILE away from #1. Especially since I don't like their new vocalist. :P Come on, Ayu, sell those albums!

I highly doubt that Exile or Mr.children can beat Ayu. I mean, their one album (I think it's one album) is up against 2 Ayu's. So, I expect that Ayu will hold the top 3 positions if not 5 positions for at least two or three weeks.

congrats to A BEST2! i'm happy it's doing so well.

ayu vs ayu :D I hope the sales are decent. I dont waht to have high hopes. If both albums have good sales then its a bonus :D

Well, at least on the first day BLACK ended up being the one to get #1. I hope they change positions more than a couple of times because both albums deserve to do pretty much equally well.

Mr. Children will unquestionably get the top spot. Ayu has a small shot at beating Exile though.

GO AYU!! I hope each of these albums sells a million!

I dun really know about next week, but i dun think both album can get into top 3 on the week when Mr. Chlidren, Koda Kumi, and Mika Nakashima release album. Those 3 people will take the top 3 spots for sure on the week of march 14. Probly A BEST 2 will have a strong leg than EVOLUTION tho, so I will say one of the BEST 2 should be in top 5..

comeonnnnnnn ayu!! u can do it!!!! million albums plzzzzz

they'll sell a lot i bet, none of the editions are limited so people will have a lot of time to buy. i hope both get around 1 million by the end of this week.

Obviously, you're not familiar with Mr. Children. If Ayu can sell more than 600k in her 3rd week of release, then she will take the #1 spot from Mr. Children. Anything lower than 600k, Mr. Children will take the top spot that week.

^ You're right. That's highly unprobable unless this album manages to be extremely popular to the point of being a hit in the next weeks too, though it's only a small chance

Hoping that they'll stay like that at least for another 2 weeks.

I guess this was kinda expected. Although I though White would have the top spot.

What I think about A BEST 2 next sales is :
+1
+1

But I really hope one of them will reach the million at least =33

Well, this breaks her #1 album ranks in terms of technicality. But in terms of being real, getting the top 2 spots? Oh come on, lol, that's a #1 right there.

Will A Best 2 last after one week? For me, I don't think so...600K has to be twice or something. Agreed, Mr. Children wins

well.. if one of them getting over half a million this week, then it's probable to see that one reaching a million. I hope both will reach 500K this week.. I really hope... :)

Sugoii - I hope both A BEST's get #1!!

"It starts."

-The Lion King.

Yeah. I think 450k-500k 1st week is the minimum in order to get a million in total.

-WHITE- took over the #1!!!!!
-BLACK- #2!!!

What a twist in the plot XD

They've switched today!

WHITE is no.1 and BLACK is second.

it's amaaazing xD now both of them Are #1 in the dailies.. well not in 1 day.. but still xD

You got it wrong Rod, they are both 2nd

No, you don't get it. :p

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/
They've both had a chance to be no.1! :D
If this happens all week.. oi.

It would be cool if they really kept switching the whole week :) (or for 2 weeks or more)

that's kinda unexpected LOL :P. I always thought BLACK will be no. 1 for the whole week.

OMG!!
WHITE get No.1 in second day! Surprising...Ha Ha

I can't wait to see sellers.

I can't wait til monday/tuesday!
actually I can. Cos I go back to school T_T

wow..white win at the second day...the race is getting hot..haha...
i think many people buy white because of Best of CDL dvd

good to know ayu album still on track in the oricon daily sales+chart
i'm can't wait to see the "magic number" (500k or more)

That's so funny how they flip-flopped! xD

they'll definitely top the chart with overexpectation number of sales!!

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3...gthesunhn9.jpg

BE SURE TO SUPPORT AYU!!

i think so too,lol
i mean, it's not even 24hours sales yet!!

oo i can't wait to see the weekly sales figure .. i hope i hope at least 800K for each album

Lol, I find the switch very cute :laugh

Amazing.

Holy crap.

So.
ORICON is now displaying weekly sales for the top 3 in categories now.

A BEST 2 -WHITE- sold 84526 on its 2nd day.
A BEST 2 -BLACK- sold 83596 on its 2nd day. WTF.

haha! i like white! but black has sth new and different

that'll be sad if true.

^That's true
What happened to Oricon?They only display the sales for top 3 daily,weekly,and monthly chart.
BLACK sales (day 1 &2): 83401 + 83596 = 166997
WHITE sales : 83130 + 84526 = 167656
If the sales are stable,BLACK & WHITE will hit 500k each.

Nice figures :yes

Third day: 90k both? :laugh

Yup, i was going to post that... btw, sales for the 1st day (February 27th) were

A BEST 2 -BLACK- 83401
A BEST 2 -WHITE- 83130

I'm kinda surprised o_O I don't know how the next daily sales trend will be, but if she manages to keep sales around those figures the overall would be great, but I guess sales will go down... so i'm not sure what we should expect.

*EDIT: Someone posted the 1st days figures before me while i was writing this. I'm slow, ouch! xD*

Nice to see that there is actually a slight INCREASE in sales from day 2 to day 1!

Seems it'll end up selling at most 560k the first week? No clue, never saw day by day sales before.

Thanks for the numbers :).

These are not sales if you can read Japanese, they are just some rates/indicators~!!!!

wow.. good sales for first 2 days!! keep it up!! :D

Then thank you for the clarification :$

i am worried about the sales
i am worried

go ! ayu!!

it is not the sales.
it is just the indicator!!

In that case, these could turn bad in the end. But I'm positive right now. So I'm wishing all the best for Ayu. Go Ayu.

Ayu is fighting for number 1!!! GO A BEST 2!!!

Thanks elvis810 for that information, very good to know.

Nice. Seems both probably shall sell 500k in week 1.

yay WHITE is no.1 now...

is that 2 day sales suppose to be gd?..i guess so right thats why its still no.1

LOL, I love how #3 in the dailies is someone's album called "the WORLD Ruler" while their indicator is 5% of Ayumi's! :D

They are sales figures actually...if u spent some time to look @ other rankings (Weekly/monthly) u'll know it's de sales figure.

she seems to be doing really well as compared to the person in 3rd...

i think if this number continues like on an average of 80k per day..it will reach 560k in the first week...

gosh...i dunno to rejoice or not

BUT something to take note...her sales from Day 1 grew when it came to Day 2...so hopefully it will grow again...
(promotion not working that well....argh)

No, just look at last week's data~! the actual sales number is doubling the weekly sum of this prediction(or what?) figure.
