[ORICON] BLUE BIRD 2nd week + Startin'/(m)u weekly sales

I know the BLUE BIRD 2nd week has already been mentioned in the BLUE BIRD Oricon Daily Ranking Thread by Rody! but I just wanted to keep all of this week's sales in 1 thread.

BLUE BIRD 2nd Week Sales
Rank: 3
Weekly Sales: 48,390
Total Sales: 208,962
Yearly Ranking: 21
***
Startin'/Born To Be...
STOPPED CHARTING/OUT OF THE TOP 200. Total Sales stand at 188,551 for now. (28th in Yearly Ranking)
***
(miss) understood
Weekly Sales: 1,042
Total Sales: 873,644
Yearly Ranking: 6
***
I wasn't expecting BLUE BIRD's 2nd week to be dropping this much (into the 40k's). I was expecting at least 50k+, but it's close enough. I'm starting to think maybe MC Tatsujin's prediciton of 268,000 (I think it was 268k) might become reality....

I've seen people saying that they want this single to be #1 for monthly, but I think Mr. Children's new single will very likely take that spot and leave BLUE BIRD at #2 or below.

Yep, I predicted 268k using geometric progression formula.. xD If it works, I'mma start predicting every other sales in the future with it!

*anticipates Startin'/(m)understood sales*
I'm not too confident in these two though..

At this rate, maybe not.. Koi No Tsubomi is still doing well. I see BLUE BIRD getting out of charts together with it. Although Koi No Tsubomi deserves the sales. Great song. Goodbye Days is pretty good too.

I wonder how BLUE BIRD even managed a number 1 given that the songs in the TOP 10 are really good.

48,000 copies is good. I thought it would drop to 45,000 so I'm happy!

Already surpassed "Startin'/Born to be..."!

Apparently this single has been welcome warmly in Japan. Is that only my opinion that BLUE BIRD and Beautiful Fighters remind a lot older Ayu stuff? I guess that's why Japanese are buying it.

The website is usually slower to update. Got this at JPM.

WOW! Moments reached 300 000 eventually, hopefully BB does the same! But Moment's week 4 and week 5 might be impossible to achieve. Only 1 000 difference in sales, amazing.
