[dreamland2.0]

LOL
they can do a military themed video again.
Though I wouldn't mind a Graduation type song again!!

AKB is on Billboard Hot 100 of the year at number 3 with Heavy Rotation. For single sales of the year they are at 7 with Heavy Rotation and 10 with Beginner.

^Yay!!!

I've just realized I've been calling it Chance no Juuban this entire time when it's actually Junban

[Ranma Matsuri]

O___o How's it possible that Hebirote is ranked higher when Beginner sold more... ? idgi But good for them! xD

[visionfactory]

^ I think Billboard rankings are not based in sales only, I think it's a combination of sales + airplay like World Music Charts.

I wonder how it will turn out.

[dreamland2.0]

I wonder how much it will sell??
I don't know how's her voice?? I thought it was just okay. Seems like it will be auto tuned a lot if it's a dance song LOL xD

[Polyrhythm]

Tomochin is really pretty....not a fan of her singing but she seems popular enough to be successful....I hope she beats Tohoshinki (or more like....what's left of them )

[dreamland2.0]

ooooooOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

I think Shiny Summer was a disaster, but this time she will definitely get a decent production team

[dreamland2.0]

lololololol some kind of parapara routine. But her voice doesn't sound too bad.
I expect something much more epic for Dear J

Was just major fangirling over the Happy Music performance of Chance no Junban with Sae in it!!!!!!!!
OMG Sae and Mayuchi in a senbatsu performance!!!!!!!!!!! *flails*
*flails some more* Sae was in the Music Japan performance tooooooooooooo!!!!!! *dies*

some things about Chance no Junban sales I stole from stage48 wiki:

First week sales: 596,769
Position: #1

* 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)
