Man that's really low :-\ I was expecting higher numbers but sigh


Ouch. 2PM gets #1. I'm quite shocked at the numbers. It should've been higher!



Apparently a Sony 1-2, with the Korean boyband taking the top spot and ClariS second. But both of these are best albums, and Ayaka's a studio album...that's weird.

It's going to take a miracle if Ayaka wants to be #1! But I think she has a shot at #2. She's behind...by 310? #2 is doable! Still disappointed about 2PM though.

April has been overwhelming, especially for female soloists - first Ayu and miwa gets overshadowed by Masaharu Fukuyama and Southern All Stars, and then this...seems like Ayaka missed expectations? We expected more out of it. (Conspiracy theories: too much 'recycled' content much like miwa? More digital sales compared to physical sales?)
