EXILE's 41st single "EXILE PRIDE ~Konna Sekai wo Aisuru Tame~" (released on April 3) has sold 112,000 copies (total 916,000 copies), topping Oricon's single weekly ranking for September 30. The single last topped the charts 24 weeks ago during its first week of sales.
The last single to come back at #1 on the charts was Mr.Children's "Shirushi" (released November 2006) on January 15, 2007 after a 7-week interval. SMAP holds the longest interval record of 39 weeks with "Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana" (released March 2003). EXILE is now in 2nd place with Matsuda Seiko following in 3rd.
Since its release, the single has sold 916,000, making this their first single to surpass the 900,000 mark since their debut. A "special edition" of this single, which will come with a music video, is scheduled to be released on October 23.
"EXILE PRIDE ~Konna Sekai wo Aisuru Tame~" is the theme song for their tour 'EXILE LIVE TOUR 2013: EXILE PRIDE', which will run until the 27th of this month.
