[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~A SUMMER BEST~

[truehappiness]

Well, casual fans who like the summer songs but never really purchased the CDs may buy it as well. It's a mega-summer-hit collection and the tracklist is really well thought out imo.

I find that it's selling a lot more than I thought it would.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but Ayu's No. 4 for singles (You& Me), and No. 1 for albums on Japanese iTunes. =)

It's safe to say that A SUMMER BEST will NOT get #1...

[warawiri]

as usual ayu drop almost 50% from her 1st day sales...
steady please....

[ayumisrael]

Thank you. Brings the sales to 49,644.

[TeamAyu2004]

Go ayumi!!
do bad about the drop!

[freedreamer]

SMAP halfed their sales too right? So it's not that bad...
I hope it hangs in there through the summer.

[Cornie]

I think overall it's wouldn't oversell PQ

[Tony G]

Doesn't have as long a shelf life as PQ so I don't think it will be dramatically higher in any case.

[L....]

Pls let sales to be more steady for the next few days!!

[TeamAyu2004]

she needs to do a few more lives for You and Me

[Delicious n Bold]

That's an unfortunate drop in sales.

[Cahz-]

Is it safe to say it will cross the 100k mark?
Don't want to think about tomorrow figures. Hope it passes the 10k mark

[Yannetakizawa]

All "The best summer" were sold (sold out).
According to fans on twitter

[ayumisrael]

It's selling more than what avex thought or just general shipping issues?

[TeamAyu2004]

i think more of that avex wasnt expecting a lot?
I mean, there has been no news about a shipping problem.
I guess avex didnt want to waist money on something that might not sell well.

[Didz-19]

Why Avex think it's only wasting money?

[emi♡]

Honestly, it's my opinion that Avex is desperately trying to change they way things sell, so that they have more longevity instead of just, everything in one day, and then nothing...

And I think they're really experimenting a lot with Ayu...but idk.

I thought the sales were quite good.

[TeamAyu2004]

i could see that happening... but why?

For taxes? to spread out their income throughout the year instead knowing everything is going to be up front?

I wonder what they plan to achieve by spreading out releases??
