The second week is where she was #2 all week to Kobukuro. It wasn't really high, but she basically sold 200k~ two weeks in a row for GUILTY.

A lesson in CD releases in Japan:
Normally, Japanese CDs have release dates on Wednesdays. For example, Party Queen's actual release date is 3/21, a Wednesday.

However, just about every Japanese CD releases a day or two earlier in CD stores for some reason (this is also the case for some magazines and games among other things) which is called a furage or "flying get" day. I don't know exactly why they do this furage practice, but I guess it could be to ensure an extra day of sales for Oricon? This day is usually when we get our first day of sales and is usually the highest number of the week. For some acts, the day after can be a bit higher.

In some cases where a holiday will fall on the furage day, CDs will be released up to a few days earlier in order to compensate for the holiday though some consumers may not be aware of it which is what happened this week with Party Queen. This was also the case for GUILTY for some reason, which released on 12/25 instead of 12/27 like most 01/01 releases due to a decision from her management to release it early.
