Wow, nice to see (m)u's sales increase. ^_^ Too bad BB's dropped.

Ummm... If the estimation is true for Kinki Kids, 4 hot wave won't sell more than 220, at least if they keep staying in number one for one at least two more days.

Isen't BB the highest selling female solo single thus far this year? And it's barely in the top 20? Sad fact.

first week sales of 220,000? :tired that's a lot

Oh well... I guess over 6k is a good number for BLUE BIRD.

No, it's still 'Koi no Tsubomi' with 262k.

Female singers didn't do that well last year either Mika had the highest with over 420k but that was due to NANA. Bennie K was the highest non-NANA female single which just sold a bit under 350k and the highest non-NANA solo female was STEP you/is this LOVE? and they went #19 overall for the year. Most female artists tend to get better album results nowadays.

I see. The only source I can get on sales is wikipedia right now, and I guess it's not updated. =)

Thanks a lot for the news! ^_^

watch (m)u never to reach 1 mil.... jk! I just wonder how long it'll take for it to do so. I hope BB can reach 250k by next week, but I doubt it. Good luck BB!!! It is quite a good single..

Oh, blue bird is not selling well!:(

looks like immel guessed the closest sales this week, i'm sorta suprised BB sold 6k+ but its a nice suprise.

I'm guessing 3.5k sales next week.

I thought BLUE BIRD would sell more than that..i will go buy one soon..it may help to add 1 to the list..

6must buy from CDjapan, then will count towads the sales ;)

I understand if you meant the first week, but no way the total sales are gonna be that low for 4 HOT WAVE.

I personally think they will be that 'low'..

The first day sales are usually [not all the time i.e HEAVEN] the defining factor in weekly sales.. :] And I don't think Koda'll be able to pull out a 300k first week.. maybe not even 250k o_o no matter what she does..

For (m)u, I saw the album with a discount price, maybe that's why the sales increased. But I don't know when this discount began.

Well, it has been out for what, half a year now XDD~

I'd imagine many are discounting it, thus increasing sales ;D

Well at least we know the 1st week sales will be higher than 140k and total sales will be more than 283k (as mentioned by oricon)

her singles these days seem to be selling quickly, but not for a long time

Im glad ayus single sales are slowly doing better after B&D....=) Hopefully her next single will do atleast as well as blue bird:)

I'm glad that (m)u is still selling a lot.

thanks for info!

good to see that it is still charting :D

How come CDL0506 take so much time? :/

^it's out of the top 30, so I have to wait...

Sweet deal. Thanks for sharing! So we should expect around 250 000 for BLUE BIRD.

I'm so excited for the next single! If this keeps up, I feel pretty confident it should reach 300 000 and her single sales after will hopefully steadily stay at around 300 000 following the next single. We'll see.

Isn't (m)u aswell? ^^

^DVD sales usually take a lot longer to get than the normal single/album sales.

Aha, okay, awaiting the sales eagerly. When do you expect them to drop in?

I don't know. Last week it was dropped on a Saturday, but it still hasn't come out yet...

thanks for the info~~!!

BLUE BIRD is still doing good :D

Yay for BLUE BIRD :D

CDL going strong, surprisingly o_o

^There's already two threads that got information about the 5th week sales, this one is for the 4th week.

Wow, you're right o.o

Only 55,835 own the Japanese version of it :o

^That's not very only for a live DVD, I think. Her earlier DVD sales has been between 50-100k.

DVD sales arn't really high in the 1st place, plus it's a CDL so this total is understandable.

Thanks for the info.
