[Charts & Rankings] Official Oricon Thread ~Love songs~ II

[FleurRebelle]

For me this album is my soul, my blood and my flesh!
I need this album in my daily life. It's just perfect.
Except for 1 interlude...

[sanzo2011]

Thanks for the update ! finally she reached 270k!

[AyumiAi]

It's great tom see it reach 270k and be above kuu it's been so long since an ayu album outsold kuu

[adantatu2]

270k is amazing !!
now go for the 273k

[brener]

awesome!!
i dont think this year we'll have albuns with "million" certifications :L

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

strongly hoped it could have reached 300k so far..

[roanmy]

Yeah I really don't see Kuu taking over Ayu's position. I do however expect Ayu (and Kuu) to fall quite a bit before the oricon year ends (as she/they always do).

I wonder what yearly # Ayu will be this year...

[adantatu2]

honestly i hope that one day both release their albums the same day
it's gonna be interesting

Me too... I believe that ayu will steal the first position but kuu will sell more overall, from what's happened before.

It will also depend if they still popular and other things too. Kuu's last album Dejavu was just released in a bad time, and the album is good, but not as strong and relevant as her others.


I really hope Love songs keeps on a charting a little bit longer!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't 好きでx３ stop selling around 85K? Ayu was just shy of 100K.

Yeah, just before the earthquake and all that.

For singles it is different. Ayu's fanbase (TeamAyu) is bigger than kuu's, which gives ayu better and more steady sales in general, or keeps some kind of average number in her sales, talking about singles.

Albums are more like, fans + other people buying, who are bigger than the number of fans buying, (the number of fans stays around the same no matter the situation. It obviously changes but not overnight). These casual listeners make the difference at the end of the day, and in the past few years more people bought kuu's albums than ayu's.

The earthquake and tsunami were definitely a bad time but it didn't seem like it really affected cd sales in general.

look at how exile's album sold after the disaster and how for example, sdn48 and kara's singles do this week, so it's not really a factor.

The first week sales of Dejavu pretty much showed it would sell considerably less than all her previous albums. Considering what Tal said is true I'd say the natural disasters are hardly to blame Ku's popularity had yet another downfall.

[AyumiAi]

^ we kinda got to see that when crossroad and suki de X 3 were released on the same day ayu won X)

[brener]

^

me too.... hehe

[Andrenekoi]

I bet Universe would sell less than RnRC if it wasn't paired with the best... and even so, the sales weren't that high...

[Nackar_91]

Exile's album would definitely have sold more without the earthquake, though. Sales drop each year and all that, plus their singles weren't as MASSIVELY succesful as in 2009, but you don't go from nearly selling 1,390,000 to around 700,000 just because of falling record sales in general. Motto Tsuyoku, VICTORY and I Wish For You especially were big enough hits to ensure a million copies.

Actually, yes you do.

First Love = 7.5 millions
Distance 4.5 millions;

Black Cherry = 1million,
Kingdom barely = 600+k

VALENTI = 1.3 millions
LOVE&HONESTY = 600k

**** happens

Yeah.... Making a drop from the BEST SELLING RECORD EVER to no. 4 BEST SELLING RECORD EVER is still an accomplishment. You can't keep on breaking records. Kingdom was obviously stunted because of her comment on the radio show. Its sales were relatively high and then kind of died off. The third one, well, BoA has always been dropping with huge numbers. EXILE has been extremely stable the past couple of years.

Also, no need to be so condescending, mkay? : )
