* Chance no Junban's First week sales updated akb's record of half-million first week sellers to 4. (Ponytail to Shushu~ current.)
* this single made AKB48 the first Female idol group in japan to have 6 consecutive 1# Singles since an Onyanko Club streak, approx. 23 years ago.
* for a 5 consecutive 1# single streak occurring during the same year, it was the first time happening in the female artist category since 1978 (32 years ago).
* Chance no Junban placed as 8th in the Oricon Yearly Single Ranking for 2010 (this position was accomplished just with the single's first week sales, since it was released during the last Oricon Week for the year 2010)
Whoa, that still is really HOT!
