[TITANIC]

HOT...
namie.....
is she can get #1 again this week i just can say WAHH

[criminal]

I love how slow the single releases have been since 60s70s80s came out. It sure wouldn't have had the chart run it's having right now if it weren't for no big-name releases.
Here's hoping EXILE don't stick around for a second week.
A perfect album top 4:
01 aiko
02 Kaela Kimura
03 Utada Hikaru
04 244 ENDLI-x

Though I wouldn't mind if Tsuyo-san got a spot in the top 2. All I know is that aiko will be #1.

a no brainer that EXILE will have the highest 1st week sales of the year so far .

sales of EXILE CATCHY BEST's scary with a capital S !

Good job Hikki for moving up to #2!

[ayumisrael]

hikki is so going to get over aoyama, hikki's album is so much better. yay!

[AyuGAME]

i pray that exile best album will stop selling... (crossing finger)
how about single sales?
can namie get number one position again? looks like it will be a close race between her and 20th century

[KarenPang]

my younger sister gave EXILE CATCHY BEST a listen & she said that most of the tunes tend to sound the same

[ayu_fan929]

Fangirls aren't the only people buying EXILE's stuff because if only fangirls were buying their stuff, there wouldn't be such a huge difference between JE's album sales and EXILE's. EXILE probably has a wide and diverse fanbase in Japan like Kobukuro and Mr. Children.

[fanmail]

I had no idea EXILE were this popular... </3

Wow, Namie's been #1 for the past 3 days!

I totally agree. When it comes to JE, my money is endles...but not really. lol

[Melon Panda]

Fangirls definitely aren't the only buyers of EXILE's 35357654 different best albums, but without them, I doubt their sales would be near what they are now.

any idea what demographic of people does EXILE appeal to aside from fangirls ?

I don't know where people are getting this idea that EXILE's fanbase is mostly fangirls. I think they have a lot of casual fans, and a lot of guys like them. Just cuz they're a singing group full of guys doesn't make them automatically just like the Johnny's boys, although they're not really my cup of tea
