[CHARTS + SALES] GUILTY - second topic

[somethinglost]

It looks like Ayu's "first" week will be about 300K, which is pretty good.

That's barely more than BoA's last album sold babes.
EDIT: I believe these are soundscan numbers, not ORICON.
And besides, this is only half the ORICON week, so Ayu still might not get #1. Keep your fingers crossed, everyone!

Guys these charts are wrong.
We know from the daily charts that Kobokuro sold at least 147,000 from their first 4 days, however these charts say they sold 142k for the WEEK.
Leads me to believe they used Sound Scan, and only counted 1 edition.
Therefore I think it's safe to say Ayumi probably won't be getting ORICON #1
Hope this isn't too confusing :\
EDIT: This means that Ayumi sold more than 202,000 as her CD only edition wasn't counted. Of course, this means the same for kobukuro, but their sales are more balanced between the 2 editions, and Ayumi's CD editions always chart A LOT lower than the DVD edition on Sound Scan...
We won't know for sure until Monday when ORICON is published, all the above is speculation, but when you think about it... it makes sense!

hmmm this really will be a nailbiter then because I'm sure Kobukuro makes the majority of their sales from the CD only version, not the DVD version like Ayu does.

You know, part of me actually wants GUILTY to stall at #2. Anyway, if it's not this one, it's going to be the next one, but I was kinda hoping for Ayu to have 10 consectutive #1 albums in ten years and only then get a #2 or whatever, 'cos that'd be cool.

Anyway, I just can't stand when people act so fake and biased about they really feel. There have been people posting crap about, 'I don't care if she gets #1! She's still #1 in my eyes!" and all that other bull. As soon as this thread was made, those same people came in here, saying they almost had heart attack because she thought she was #2..

(Thanks for the complement! hehehehe Do you have my MSN address???)





Who's my cutie, cutie?! You are! *kisses on the cheek*

Sometimes, I post confusing stuff that makes people go, WTF?"....I find it very funny. XD Yea, I want to be honest to you guys....I mean, why not be honest? When I first came here, everyone thought I was annoying posting girl! (I find that funny though) I even had a couple of members to tell me to stop posting so much! XD

Oh, crap...I have been going on and on....this thread is for ayumi---okay, getting back on topic now!

*AHEM*

Hahaha that was funny lolz. It's good to see funny posts after all this "guilty" drama

[Bad Wolf]

Good lord guys, 7 pages of speculation again? *does impatient dance of wanting to know the numbers*

the sales of kobukuro on uwc are wrong...are less than the first 3 days of oricon...

and now on jbook #1 and #2 kobukuro...

[Halla]

I'm anxious to see whats spot she'll land on oricon

I think it's good tho that they don't shy away from a challenge and release when no one big is releasing at the same time. Kobukuro are huge, their collection album released at 2006 is still charting with like 2.5 million copies sold.

[bluegie]

Oh well three more days and we'll see the outcome anywayz.

Btw, if we buy albums from cdjapan, it DOES count towards oricon. Here's the reply I got from them (I emailed for curiosity ):

Thank you so much for contacting CDJapan.

Yes, all sales at CDJapan counts towards the oricon charts, because we are one of the retailers they take samples from.

They only look at the quantity sold, and it does not make any difference whether the order is to be sent internationally or within Japan.

Please contact us again if you have any other question.

So yeah go buy your fav artists' albums from cdjapan then LOL .

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

^ w00t i will buy from CDJapan from now on even though it won't help much ehehehe...

[Lee_Hamasaki]

noooooooooo!!! i counts only if you live in japan (they see it from the address).
only if cdjapan send the cd in japan it counts on oricon
