This year, popular group Arashi who are welcoming in their 10th year of debut released their best album "All the BEST! 1999~2009", within just the 1st day of release on 18th August , it achieved sales of 261,000, attaining the top position for the daily ranking of 18th August.
This year's top weekly sales (album category), is GReeeeN's album 『塩、コショウ』released in June, with 1st week sales of 452000. There is a probability that Arashi's album will surpass this.

excellent with a capital E

but that article did not mention Mr.Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY's 1st week sales of 707,763
even though by right the album was released last Dec , Oricon will count it in their yearly 2009 but oh it doesn't matter haha
