[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~Party Queen~ II

[Chibi-Chan]

How much did JAPONESQUE sell till now?

[TeamAyu2004]

Well, so far
JAPONESQUE - 148,187
Party Queen - 124,305

All in all, I think Party Queen did better than JAPONESQUE given everything surrounding the two. JAPONESQUE had singles, party queen didn't.
tie ins and what not, plus I think in the long run, party queen will out sell JAPONESQUE.

[adantatu2]

Both albums are amazing, but both have poor promotion.
Koda didn't promote the album for her pregnancy and ayu only promote the album in local shows and some magazines.
To be honest, i think ayu will sell less than Kuu this time ToT

Even without the singles, I think PQ sold more over a shorter period of time?

Like Japonesque sales dipped to the lowest plateau before ayu's did. PQ sold more per day/week before plateauing out to normal.

or so it seemed...

Well comparing their chart run

------Ayu-------Kuu
W1 97,691 93,835
W2 18,101 24,813
W3 8,513 11,158
W4 5,618 5,521


It's very hard to say but Ayu has her arena tour to promote the album so who knows.

[TeamAyu2004]

^^ i think the first two weeks of JAPONESQUE were better, but after that I think Party Queen is doing better... or it seems... I mean its only been out for what, five weeks now and it has almost caught up to Koda's album, which was out 3 months before Party Queen...
so in the long run I think it will out sell, yes.

Well thats pretty normal since most sales come from the first few weeks. It'll be close. We'll have to wait and see.

[Andrenekoi]

By her 5th week, Koda had sold 135k... So, she still did better than Ayu...

[TeamAyu2004]

I woould tend to think that Ayumi has done better firgureing in the lack of promotion and no singles.
Plus in the long run I think ayumi has better staying power than koda kumi.

you can feel however you like...but in this thread, sales are sales, no? lol

Anyways, I didn't think Ayu had still sold less by her 5th week.

pretty different from the western artists, the tours in japan barely rise albums sales, so i doubt the arena tour will rise PQ sales...

Arena tours don't really promote the album as the majority of people who attend the tours have either bought it, downloaded it or had never intended to purchase it.

I think that FIVE pretty much displayed what Ayu can do with a solid tie-in and if PQ had better promo I'm sure it would've outsold JAPONESQUE so far even when you consider all the things that album had, but as Emiko said, sales are sales, and Ku is leading the way atm, though I am hoping that'll change not that it matters much.

[truehappiness]

They have special promotions for people who buy the album though, so they are trying to sell copies at the tour stops.

[brener]

^

does oricon count that sales?

[Andrenekoi]

^Only 1/3....

But Ayu/Avex gets the money anyway

[truehappiness]

Basically, if they sell 100 copies, only about 30 of them count towards Oricon.

There's a maximum of 1000 copies, I think.

I don't think Party Queen can outsell JAPONESQUE..
The difference is quite large...

So if we were to assume they sold out all copies on every tour stop it would help boost up the album by 8,400. Not huge I guess but it is something.
