[Charts & Rankings] Oricon 2008 thread

Like I said earlier, Hikki still scored the double platinum sales of HS this week. I'm interested to see how she will fair next week. *prays that she beats EXILE next week*

I hope they don't have a week higher than 480k. I'd like Hikki to keep that title of highest first week of 2008 for a little while longer I'm more worried about Aoyama Thelma beating her for the #2.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Me too. Aoyama's NINKI said that 130 people (I think) were interested in her debut album. I just hope Hikki's next week sales don't drop drastically. Regardless, I'm cheering for the both of them. Ugh, I just one of them beats EXXXXXIIIILE!

[ayumisrael]

lol most likely EXILE will beat both, I hope hikki will beat Thelma as I liked only soba ni iruyo.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^ I just don't understand how Victor (Aoyama's record label I think) is releasing an album when she has only 2 singles to promote the album. Just going on one single isn't enough to prove whether the albulm will be good or not. I think it's totally stupid. The way I'm looking at it, it seems Soba ni iruyo will end up selling more than the studio album.

lol possible! I kinda hope that it will since I don't want her to top hikki next week and the only good song of her that I heard is soba ni iruyo,

Go hikki and beat her

Love, are you afraid of Hikki being bested by another female artist? Ayaka has already been called the "next Utada Hikaru"! I just have to laugh at stuff like that.

no ayaka nor Thelma will sell more than my hikki, HOW RUDE
Specially not ayaka which I don't like her style at all, she's boring me

[Luv ~Venus~]

^ I don't like Ayaka's style either. Besides, how can she be the next Utada Hikaru when she doesn't even do R&B? I don't think Aoyama can sell on her own unless someone is featured on her stuff. I thought about buying her album but I decided not to because I'm not sure if she will be in the J-business for long. Why waste money on a one-hit wonder?! I like her ans all but I'm not completely sure about Aoyama yet.

[Melon Panda]

ayaka may have a strong voice, but her non-ballad songs are pretty bland to me (nothing I could ever listen to on repeat). Utada has the whole musician/artist package thing going on, so it seems ridiculous to compare the two. As long as Utada is around, there doesn't seem to be a point calling other artists "the new Utada Hikaru."

Hikki's only 25... I don't see how she could even have a replacement like that s I mean, maybe when she's 35. And maybe when someone is as HUGE as she was during First Love and Distance.

[KarenPang]

thanks for the update of this week's Oricon .

wow I'm surprised for Ken's 2nd week sales of FAKIN' POP & that he only drop 1 spot for the 2nd week .

Looks like he's able to reach platinum status in no time

[TITANIC]

congratzzzzzzzzzzzz..
finally namie got #1 this week...

[TITANIC]

so 60s70s80s total sales is 152,881

[criminal]

Namie Amuro is #1.

I hope this is the start of a new streak.

[Halla]

I'm still surprised at how well Shibasaki Kou is selling. she sort of flew under the radar, I've heard of her but none of her singles or past albums have really caught my attention.

EXILE's three new best albums is not a new gimmick. they did it last time too in 2005, most people will get the most extensive best out of the three. EXILE's "PERFECT BEST" 2CD+DVD is the best selling avex album of 2005, clearly above Kuu's BEST ~first things~ and Ayu's MY STORY.

EXILE ENTERTAINMET BEST or whatever it's called will most likely be the best selling album of 2008 out of all avex artists, and probably by a mile too since Kuu and Ayu haven't really performed exceptionally well in sales this year whereas exiles sales seem to be on the rise ...

[ayu_fan929]

I think their 3 best album release back in 2005 is kind of different since "PERFECT BEST" was pretty much the other 2 combined into 1. This year, they're releasing 3 difference best albums. I don't think the best selling avex album won't be any of the 3 best albums from EXILE, it will probably be their studio album, EXILE LOVE.

Woo! Shokotan's in the top 5! :3

You haven't listened to ONE WAY yet, have you?

[Luv ~Venus~]

^No, but I heard that it was better than Soba ni Iruyo <~I really like that song! lol I've been too lazy lately to download much of anything. I know her album is up for downloading but I'm gonna dl right not. Well, I prolly will do it late on. XD
