[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~LOVE again~

[saigodansu]

No one expected 500k but 150k would have been easy before the publicity stunts started going so far that they drove the fans away. She was by far the best, but whoever planned the stunts made her career a joke for 2/3 of the fans she had left.

I can see it now... "Ayu debuts at #1 with 2 copies sold. Two of Ayu's most loyal gay fans have skyrocketed the artist to #1 for the 15th time."

That's good I guess.

They come up with very interesting "records". It's like "Ayu is the first celebrity to release two albums on the same year in 4 different years and have at least one hit #1 on the charts and have the other be #1 for at least three consecutive days of the week and debut with a certification and come with a coffee mug, DVD with approximately six music videos, and a rare, once-in-a-lifetime download code for a cellular wallpaper compatible on 207 different models of cell phone and 177 models of smartphone."

Go Ayu!

If they weren't somewhat obscure, I'd be really happy. But at this point it's like a dead pony when she breaks a record.

[BlackSilence]

er can someone please explain me this?lol who translates that stuff xD

Ayumi Hamasaki's new album, "LOVE again" (2/8/13) has sold 5.3million copies since its release, and became the top sold album of the week. It is her 20th time of becoming the top sold album of the week, during first week of the release.

http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/confidence/2021586/full/

[RealLight]

/\ These numbers are always so messy x-x but I think they wanted to say it sold '53k' instead of 5.3 million.

@ayu_19980408 Ayumi come to The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. CITY NEW YORK #ABESTLIVE @kayzu_teamayu

I love you, this made my day

I honestly thought this would sell better, I didn't expect such a sharp drop over the days but oh well, let's see how it does in the long run~

Stop whining about THAT stunt plz! It's over!
Ayu's sales decrease with each album so if Party queen didn't make 150k, what makes u think LOVE again can?

[brener]

[Tony G]

^ that's crazy talk. a wave of new releases will push it out of the top 5 (if not the top 10) next week.

[kagami]

I admit I wish this was selling more...up til last year I thought Ayu's sale were really quite good and they haven't bothered me until now. /shrug I just think she deserves more.

But yay for number!
