[Charts & Rankings] Oricon 2008 thread

[Luv ~Venus~]

Well we know who's getting the the top 2 positions. it seems like Zard might be a problem for Ayumi though. Her Ninki is low. Could this be the end of Ayu's #1 strike? O:

...AND OMG! Go Sowelu. I'm so glad that she ranked second. I just her album is a success sale-wise. i'm definitely buying her album. I was very satisfied with her singles even though they did bad on the charts....not bad but not good IMO. lol

Yay for YUI! I'm so happy for her. I wonder if her first week sales are gonna be higher than her Ninki. I hope so! I liked her last single.

^ Same here, i love Laugh away!!..it's one of my favourite songs now.

If I remember correctly, Glorious Mind, ZARD's last single [first one before the accident?] sold about 50k in its first week. I don't think ZARD's single sales are rising and with Ayumi's single being released in 4 versions [+ 2 first press ones], the #1 streak will live on, in my opinion.

[Melon Panda]

It'd be terrible if Ayumi lost her #1 streak with her tenth anniversary single.

[andrepaul]

Shuchishin #1, i think it's possible.
Don't know why they are not in ninki.
Good score for Yui.

Well, ZARD is kinda dead, so I don't really get why her sales have gone up by so much o_o~

[ayumixfan]

^ I think its because she is dead. That her sales went up =x Like a memorial kind of thing

SINGLES
x->1->1->1->1 - L'Arc~en~Ciel - 21,679 + 13,820 + 5,731 + 3,792 (x1.75) = 78,789
x->2->2->2->2 - 244ENDLI-x - 21,443 + 9,846 + 3,956 + 3,234 (x1.75) = 67,338

ALBUMS
x->1->1->1->2 - aiko - 35,643 + 27,447 + 12,516 + 7,666 (x1.7) = 141,562
1->3->2->2->1 - EXILE - 17,917 + 19,671 + 16,564 + 12,511 + 10,971 (x1.7) = 131,978

it seems superficial to me that just because Zard passed away , her sales went up , it looks fake to me

Its the fact that many and I mean MANY of her fans miss her, so its only logical that they would try to buy anything of hers.

Look at this way, if Ayu was to suddenly pass away (heaven forbid), ALL of Ayu's fans (including old ones) would buy much of her stuff as much as they can.

Me too!

Oh for ****s sake. ****** EXILE are going knock aiko off of the #1 spot.

As if her not #1 singles ever isn't bad enough.

-Is new aiko fan-

Edit; OMG MORE STUFF TO POST.

1. I'm so surprised Kaela isn't doing so well!
2. dddaiyamondo, where did you get the top 100?
3. Those NINKI rankings are scary! But, Leah was gonna be at #6 but she got to #15.
4. Yay for Sowelu and melody.! #2 and #3 - go for it! Ew. P!ATD.
5. I HATE EXILE.

I know where you're coming from but I just hate it when such things happened in that when the artiste's around , people don't appericate his/her material , it's only when they passed away & then people will regret on not appericating his/her music when he/she was alive

[ayumixfan]

^Yeah I think its annoying too =( But thats how the arts is like... =(

yeah I hate the way the music industry works at times it's annoying & frustating

[ayumixfan]

^ me too. I don't understand why people think that they don't need to buy stuff from an artist until they die ._. Maybe if they supported her before, she could've used the money to help her disease ._.!

I know it's sick & the only ones who will benefit from all of these's record labels

[SeasonsCall]

Well, ZARD (Izumi Sakai) wasn't some obscure artist, she had already sold 35+ million albums/singles before she died. It's not like she was poor and unable to pay for medical costs.

[ayumisrael]

It just shows how health is the most important thing in life, if you're not healthy but you are rich, all this money worth crap...
