[Charts+sales] A BEST 2 -- THREAD II
 

2007年03月13日 付

WHITE No. 8 and BLACK NO. 9... That's not surprising.. What shocking me the most are

1) Mr. Children's HOME sales indicator is 139008... If that times 1.6 or 1.8, the first day sales is like 220 to 250K.. I suppose it will be the year no. 1 (currently)..
2) Kuu's Bounce and Lovers indicator is only 29508 @@.. That's really low consider kuu's popularity... it's like 45 - 55K copies being sold. I know this album is limited (350K rite?), but I thought at least 1/3 of them should be sold on the first day...

Anywayz.. I hope WHITE will jump back to top 5 tomorrow or so..

Haiz... battle begins again

2nd Weekly Ranking and Sales


2. A BEST 2 -WHITE- 101894
3. A BEST 2 -BLACK- 97354

Looks like everyone is selling really low.

yeah except Mr. Children. If first day sales = about 50% of the weekly sales, it implies HOME may break 500K on the first week.

I understand that Mika's YES may be selling quite low (since her popularity decreases compared to MUSIC era).. but kuu.. I'm just very surprised by the outcome..

I did not know about Mika's popularity, what is MUSIC era ?
I thought Nana has been a good boost for Mika even if this album has nothing about Nana, not rock album but a ballad gospel album. Quite original I think.

oh.. Mika's last album --> MUSIC.

and I dun think NANA would help Mika that much considering low sales of both NANA/REIRA singles + not much hype of the movie during last year. NANA 1 was a big hit but NANA 2 wasn't. (wait you're in Japan now rite? Was NANA 2 a hit or not?? I didn't hear much news from it compared to NANA 1..)

Anywayz.. I just hope that there will be 50K for each BLACK and WHITE.. you know, lots of people buying other albums and they won't have much money left for A BEST 2 this week.. :P.

considering the popularity of ayu in asia area,
the sales of ayu's albums of ORICON only can tell us her popularity in japan, not asia

they dont know how much her album could sale in china or singapore....

thanks for the info!

I find it unfortunate that they only show indicators for the top 3, and not the whole list... But I guess A Best 2 will go up again, most of the new albums (that are not in top 3), usually drop a few places through the week.

But, both A Best 2 reached 500K+, which is 1+ Million :D
Go Ayu! (but Mr. Children has always been strong anyway)

so are number 1 albums counted as daily or weekly number 1?
if it is counted as weekly, then blac is the first non number 1 album ayu has ever released.

Ahh the better thread for A BEST 2 stat hehe. Thanks for the update Rody :D

I guess so, then again oricon doesn't count BEST album from the streak... so ayu's still keeping her no. 1 streak for studio albums...

technically, WEEKLY charts determine whether an album is #1 or not. So yes, A BEST 2 -BLACK- is not a number1 album.. but... it's also not a studio-album, so this doesn't break any chain Ayu has..

All Ayu's studio albums are #1, remix-albums and compilation albums such as these 2 don't contribute to that record.

ah, bluegie beats me with alot of things today, whaha :P
Anyway I now changed the stats to show the actual weekly sales aswell as the sum

oh... i never intend to beat you Rody (or anyone) LOL... :D

I guess avex never wants both BLACK and WHITE to be no.1 in the beginning... If so they would not release A BEST 2 on 2.28.

I guess Avex would like A BEST 2 to break the record of both albums occupy the 1st and 2nd positions of the chart.

It's not usual for an artist to release 2 albums on the same day.

And Ayu has already got so many No. 1 albums, so this time the goal is to break the record instead of two No. 1 albums. :D

c'mon A best you can do better than this...

What? I thought Kuu would be #1, didn't know Mr.Children was releasing on the same day.

I hope the 2 A BEST 2 stay in the top 10 at least!

I guess the sales for A BEST 2 might be doubled if sales from Asia and the rest of the countries are added in.^^

hahahaha.... no:P.... really; don't overestimate the non-japanese sales.. they really don't change much. we're talking about 10,000s rather than 100,000s
