Its sad that that 690k you mentioned is for singles and not albums. It's like singles are all the rage now, considering album sales. |
Yeah. Album sales in Japan had always been a tad low compared to the other major music markets (Japan has a bit less than 50% of the total inhabitants of the US but the album sales were only like 33%), but it's pretty dramatic this year. Let's hope there'll be some surprises on the way =/
