btw, I'm astounded by the lack of maturity of some of the people around here...

Peger said GUILTY got #1 on united world chart (so most likely on oricon too), we just need to wait for the page to update I guess.

Right, the UWC is what I'm talking about. There is no where on the UWC site that lists Ayu's album as #1 for the week, with sales figures (as they usually do.) There is just the message that it "bowed in at #1" which could mean daily or weekly. :

As Demure_Dusk pointed out, if she is #1 for the week, then she should be on this list: http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm but she is not, although Kobukuro is. Even Bump of Chicken is way up there. It's for the first week of January. So hypothetically she should be on there somewhere, but oddly she is not. So yeah, still gotta wait for Oricon I think.

I think he was refering to the chart itself, more than this message (I think), or Peger just should explain.

Though I don't know if they would put such a message for 1 or couple of days on #1. Doesn't make sense.
I mean they could put kobukuro there instead of ayu for the #1, if they were the ones who are #1 (For the whole week). We gotta wait and see I suppose.

Yeah, as I said though, the chart itself doesn't have Ayumi on it. So there is conflicting information. And the link that the "bows at #1" message gives is to the Oricon daily chart.

That link is for last week's chart. They haven't posted any numbers for this week other than Alicia Keys' because she's the Global #1. When they update the Top 40 chart for this week, Ayumi, Kobukuro, and any other Japanese titles that made the list will have their estimates posted.

The UWC still gets data from Japan when Oricon goes on break; if you look at their archive from last year, you'll see they have Koda's second week #'s.

Ahh I see. Didn't Kobukuro release on the same week as Ayu though? Also, the chart says it's for 1/5/07, so kinda confusing.

GUILTY is "competing" against kobukuro's 2nd week of their album.

Kobukruo released their album the week before Ayumi, which is why they're album is listed as new on the un-updated link. I believe the date listed is the official publication date of the chart; for some reason, it's always well after the week in question ends. For instance this week's Billboard chart is the 1/19/08 chart.

LOLZ this chart stuff is so complicated sometimes XD!! I think we should better wait for the oricon results. Meanwhile let's cheer 4 ayu

Thanks for clearing that up.

The thing I don't get is how UWC still gets data from Oricon while paying members in Japan don't...

Perhaps the UWC pay for them for numbers+names... that's the most reasonable thing anyway...
