I definitely think that it will have better longevity given the strength of the non-single tracks, especially "Don't Look Back," "Last Links," and perhaps "Sexy little things." RnRC, like NEXT LEVEL, is an album that cannot be judged primarily on the sound of the singles at all. NL's album tracks -- with the exception of "Sparkle" -- were shockingly different than the singles which may have hurt its longevity. RnRC's album tracks, in contrast, seem to have much more appeal to the casual listener, at least that's what I'm gathering from the non-Ayu fans whom I've introduced the album to. Therefore, as more of the Japanese public are introduced to the more mainstream album tracks, perhaps that will increase its longevity on the Oricon charts.
