Even with new releases Namie is still #1 today with 13790 copies sold.

^^WOW she's def gonna pass Ayu and I find that kind of funny since ayu's was an original studio album and Namie's was a mere collab album, she's taking over!! She truly is a Wonder Woman!

kayokyokufan · #**165** 3rd May 2011, 04:42 PM

The weeks following the first week sales always make me sad because that's when you see the new albums coming in and taking over. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Namie has maintained #1.

Maemi · #**166** 3rd May 2011, 04:56 PM

253k is great ^^ it would be cool if Checkmate surpassed 300k ^^

kayokyokufan · #**167** 3rd May 2011, 05:15 PM

^ I'm hoping for that too.

^ Despite the fact that I'm not a fan of the release, I hope this compilation album reaches the 300k mark as well.

With a long sales trajectory, I find it plausible.

I totally love the song they used in One Piece, does one know the title of the song, I am lazy to read all credits, I just listen to the song XD

The song is titled "Fight Together". Unfortunately, there hasn't been word of there being a full version of this song. I hope that there will be because this song is too good to just be the theme song of an anime. I feel like it fully deserves to be a single.

I came here to look for any more record numbers for Checkmate! sales, but I got sidetracked by that promo photo

Agreed 100%. I will be so pissed off if she doesn't release a single for this.

bondingo · #**174** 4th May 2011, 12:14 AM

I'll be pissed if she does. We get music from her so rarely that any chance to have a new song should be taken, especially since I thought the One Piece song was only ok.

NintendoHTF1242 · #**175** 4th May 2011, 01:04 AM

Um, aren't the TV size versions of songs usually cut from full songs? Fight Together will probably be an actual single or digital release. They can't just make a one minute song just for the show! If they did, what a rip!

bondingo · #**176** 4th May 2011, 01:30 AM

^ That's true. It will definitely show up at some point. Maybe it'll be a b-side like Come was?

JackieRos · #**177** 4th May 2011, 02:46 AM

I want a new single a NEW SONG

kayokyokufan · #**178** 4th May 2011, 03:07 AM

I feel like Fight Together will have to turn up sometime in the future as a full version. Only time will tell.
