[Charts & Rankings] Oricon 2008 thread

^ The average the artist would sell, whether it be singles or albums, I believe. LOL No-one on that will ever really sell that many in singles again. With emphasis on Namie, BoA, Mika and Ai.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Oh, okay. That would be a slight disadvantage wouldn't it? I mean, most of the artists on the list sold more than the others.

[criminal]

To quote BoA, a line I just heard from Sweet Impact "Whoaoa!"
I once had a dream like this, that AHS had its own Oricon thread and it has come true. :O I go to the JPM one like 5 times a day.
LOL I even see that dddaiyamondo is here. : DDDDDD

So I guess the right thing would be to comment on sales, huh?
Well then, HEART STATION's sales are somewhat of a disappointment. I had always thought that all of the people who bought Flavor Of Life would go out and buy the album in its first week. But maybe Hikki will be stable in the coming days? Or maybe she won't and she'll be even more stable in the coming weeks? I hope so. GO FOR THE MIL, HIK.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Please tell me you got tired of going to that forum, so now you're happy that AHS has one of it's own? *crosses figures*

[criminal]

There's nothing wrong with JPM in my opinion. Both forums (AHS and JPM) have their good sides and their bad sides. The opinionated, better-than-anyone-else mentality of some of the posters there can be a turnoff, yes, but sometimes the AHS threads get boring too. D: Plus, there's a whole lot of information posted there.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Hmmm....I see and you're right. I must stop generalizing everyone on there because of a few bad apples on there. JPM is useful as well. I'll admit that I've stolen information from there. (Of course I credited that person. )

[Peger]

Hikki will probably still sell 400k this week and ~900k overall. I was expecting higher first day sales but we'll see how things turn out.

SINGLES
x->1>1 - The Alfee - 6,152 + 4,588 (x1.75) = 18,795
x->3>2 - Takahashi Hideyuki (Project R) - 3,008 + 3,131 (x1.75) = 10,743

ALBUMS
x->1>1 - Utada Hikaru - 67,698 + 64,284 (x1.7) = 224,369
1->2>2 - Shibasaki Kou - 7,597 + 11,008 + 10,682 (x1.7) = 49,788
x->3>3 - Kreva - 9,516 + 8,137 (x1.7) = 30,010

Hikki barely dropped. And Namie is back up to #3.

[KarenPang]

thanks for that

if this keeps up then I think she has a good chance to clear 500K + easily

[ayumisrael]

Usually the big drops are on the 3rd and 4th day, 5th and 6th day are rise in sales XD

[TITANIC]

OMG..
hikki's sales so crazy..hahaha

[criminal]

This is what I'm talking about. HIKKIHIKKIYAY.

(67 + 64 + 38 + 24 + 32 + 36) x 1.7 = 447k+

That's my prediction for HEART STATION. I have a feeling that the drop tomorrow will be smaller than what I predicted.

[TITANIC]

i guess heart station 1st week sales between 400K and 450K

SINGLES
x->1->1->2 - The Alfee - 6,152 + 4,588 + 2,636 (x1.75) = 23,408
1->4->3->1 - Amuro Namie - 3,290 + *** + 2,905 + 3,564 (x1.75) = 17,078 (excluding day 2)
x->3->2->3 - Takahashi Hideyuki (Project R) - 3,008 + 3,131 + 2,423 (x1.75) = 14,984

ALBUMS
x->1->1->1 - Utada Hikaru - 67,698 + 64,284 + 50,958 (x1.7) = 310,998
1->2->2->2 - Shibasaki Kou - 7,597 + 11,008 + 10,682 + 13,070 (x1.7) = 72,007

Hikki had a small drop again, and Namie has a strong possibility of getting #1!

[KarenPang]

I hope this keeps up . I really want Namie to be no.1 on the spot . 60s70s80s's a great single

[TITANIC]

2nd day index i guess 2800 because under takahashi and he got 3008..
so if next 2 days seh can keep in #1 no wonder she will get #1 weekly

[criminal]

Whoa, that's frickin' amazing for Hikki. If she keeps this up, she has a strong shot at the 500k mark, methinks.

Namie can go either way. I hope her performances do her and her single justice. A #1 single would be amazing and to achieve it in your second week is even more amazing.

EDIT: I think that the ayu-mi-x 6 NINKI's can be posted here.

#4 35.90 ａｙｕ－ｍｉ－ｘ　６　－ＧＯＬＤ－
#5 34.00 ａｙｕ－ｍｉ－ｘ　６　－ＳＩＬＶＥＲ－

Judging by the NINKIs the sales, I think the album chart will look like this next week:

#1 EXILE
#2 Utada Hikaru
#3 Thelma Aoyama
#4 Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra
#5 Shibasaki Kou (S)
#6 -GOLD-
#7 -SILVER-
etc

I'm pretty sure about the top 3, but not so about the rest of the places. I do hope one album makes it to the top 5, though.

[fanmail]

omg, I'm so happy for Namieeeeeeeee! Her single is doing so well woo! <3

[Luv ~Venus~]

I wish Exile would sit their ass down somewhere. Ugh, god! Didn't they JUST release an album? Ugh, AVEX needs to burn.

[ayu_fan929]

^They're releasing 3 BEST albums this year, and this is only their 1st one. lol

I also hope Namie gets the #1 spot this week.
