btw, I'm astounded by the lack of maturity of some of the people around here...

Peger said GUILTY got #1 on united world chart (so most likely on oricon too), we just need to wait for the page to update I guess.

Right, the UWC is what I'm talking about. There is no where on the UWC site that lists Ayu's album as #1 for the week, with sales figures (as they usually do.) There is just the message that it "bowed in at #1" which could mean daily or weekly. :shrug:

As Demure_Dusk pointed out, if she is #1 for the week, then she should be on this list: http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm but she is not, although Kobukuro is. Even Bump of Chicken is way up there. It's for the first week of January. So hypothetically she should be on there somewhere, but oddly she is not. So yeah, still gotta wait for Oricon I think.

I think he was refering to the chart itself, more than this message (I think), or Peger just should explain.

Though I don't know if they would put such a message for 1 or couple of days on #1. Doesn't make sense.
I mean they could put kobukuro there instead of ayu for the #1, if they were the ones who are #1 (For the whole week). We gotta wait and see I suppose.

Yeah, as I said though, the chart itself doesn't have Ayumi on it. So there is conflicting information. And the link that the "bows at #1" message gives is to the Oricon daily chart.

That link is for last week's chart. They haven't posted any numbers for this week other than Alicia Keys' because she's the Global #1. When they update the Top 40 chart for this week, Ayumi, Kobukuro, and any other Japanese titles that made the list will have their estimates posted.

The UWC still gets data from Japan when Oricon goes on break; if you look at their archive from last year, you'll see they have Koda's second week #'s.

ayumisrael 3rd January 2008 11:52 PM

Yes, that explains why ayu isn't there, it's from last week.
To tell the truth I won't be surprised if GUILTY is really #1.

Ahh I see. Didn't Kobukuro release on the same week as Ayu though? Also, the chart says it's for 1/5/07, so kinda confusing.

GUILTY is "competing" against kobukuro's 2nd week of their album.

Kobukruo released their album the week before Ayumi, which is why they're album is listed as new on the un-updated link. I believe the date listed is the official publication date of the chart; for some reason, it's always well after the week in question ends. For instance this week's Billboard chart is the 1/19/08 chart.

naxxo.licious™ 4th January 2008 12:06 AM

LOLZ this chart stuff is so complicated sometimes XD!! I think we should better wait for the oricon results. Meanwhile let's cheer 4 ayu :yes

The thing I don't get is how UWC still gets data from Oricon while paying members in Japan don't...

Yea, I'm a MAJOR Hikki fan. I'm huge of BoA, Namie, Ayu, misono, Crystal Kay, Sowelu, UVERworld, Asian Kung-fu Generation, Epic High, Seven, RAIN.....yea, I have many more but this isn't the place to tell them! lol

Anyway, I just can't stand when people act so fake and biased about they really feel. There have been people posting crap about, 'I don't care if she gets #1! She's still #1 in my eyes!" and all that other bull. As soon as this thread was made, those same people came in here, saying they almost had heart attack because she thought she was #2..:rolleyes

somethinglost 4th January 2008 01:53 AM

I just think it's funny that while ORICON has been on break, this new thread has still been able to get to 6 pages. ;D

Neil 4th January 2008 01:53 AM

Ayumi debuted at #7 on the world charts with 202,000 sales. :-\

somethinglost 4th January 2008 01:54 AM

Kobukuro dropped to 13 with 142.000 !!

Zemus 4th January 2008 01:55 AM

Why the ":-\"? She has most sells in Japan for that week then :) A relief I guess...

somethinglost 4th January 2008 01:56 AM

It looks like Ayu's "first" week will be about 300K, which is pretty good.

Neil 4th January 2008 01:56 AM

That's barely more than BoA's last album sold babes.
EDIT: I believe these are soundscan numbers, not ORICON.
And besides, this is only half the ORICON week, so Ayu still might not get #1. Keep your fingers crossed, everyone!

Guys these charts are wrong.
We know from the daily charts that Kobokuro sold at least 147,000 from their first 4 days, however these charts say they sold 142k for the WEEK.
Leads me to believe they used Sound Scan, and only counted 1 edition.
Therefore I think it's safe to say Ayumi probably won't be getting ORICON #1 :(
Hope this isn't too confusing :\
EDIT: This means that Ayumi sold more than 202,000 as her CD only edition wasn't counted. Of course, this means the same for kobukuro, but their sales are more balanced between the 2 editions, and Ayumi's CD editions always chart A LOT lower than the DVD edition on Sound Scan...
We won't know for sure until Monday when ORICON is published, all the above is speculation, but when you think about it... it makes sense!

hmmm this really will be a nailbiter then because I'm sure Kobukuro makes the majority of their sales from the CD only version, not the DVD version like Ayu does.

austin. ♥ 4th January 2008 03:15 AM

You know, part of me actually wants GUILTY to stall at #2. Anyway, if it's not this one, it's going to be the next one, but I was kinda hoping for Ayu to have 10 consectutive #1 albums in ten years and only then get a #2 or whatever, 'cos that'd be cool.

I'm anxious to see whats spot she'll land on oricon :P

I think it's good tho that they don't shy away from a challenge and release when no one big is releasing at the same time. Kobukuro are huge, their collection album released at 2006 is still charting with like 2.5 million copies sold.

bluegie 4th January 2008 12:52 PM

Oh well three more days and we'll see the outcome anywayz.

Btw, if we buy albums from cdjapan, it DOES count towards oricon. Here's the reply I got from them (I emailed for curiosity :P):
Quote:


Thank you so much for contacting CDJapan.

Yes, all sales at CDJapan counts towards the oricon charts, because we are one of the retailers they take samples from.

They only look at the quantity sold, and it does not make any difference whether the order is to be sent internationally or within Japan.

Please contact us again if you have any other question.

So yeah go buy your fav artists' albums from cdjapan then LOL :D.

well, I can't really imagine that anyone is making big news out of it. I must admit that I can hardly imagine ayu having gone completely deaf on one ear. it sounds surreal, that something like that should happen to her. you know, big artists get cancer and stuff, but one of the greatest people in jpop just doesn't get deaf. >__<

why would that cdjapan staff lie to me then? If he said the sales count in his email, that means it does count. I have no idea why you keep denying this fact. I truly think the staff knows more about it than we do.

Again.... GO AYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU........................... ...........

and yeah, If ayumi gets 2 weeks counted, everybody will also get the fair share, 2 weeks counted as 1

^ What is there to prove IF everybody KNOWS that ayumi gets 2 weeks counted while everybody else only get 1. If I was Ayumi, I would not be proud of it. So I believe everybody would have the fair share. UHPlus, please use ur brain and logic a little bit more. U r a medic something graduate right? Why are u so dumb to not realize this simple thing???

Minttulatte 5th January 2008 09:06 PM

I don't care at all about how much that album sells, but I'd say it's fun to see how much is sold overall. If that over 400,000 copies is true, that's a lot. It's even more than Secret sold on its first week. :> But, not that it matters. I love GUILTY more than Secret. GUILTY has strong emotional feeling in it, just like (miss)understood. :3

*is uncontrollably confused*

Is Ayu the only one who gets two weeks while KobuIstillrememberhowtospelltheirname and Exile only get one? Or does it apply to them as well?

@UHPlus: Please....don't do it anymore! I don't need you to be banned as well. YOU'RE MY ONLY SOURCE TO NAMIE NEWS! *clings to your leg* I need you! XD

somethinglost 6th January 2008 03:09 AM

Everyone will get two weeks combined, not only Ayu! =]

Luv ~Venus~ 6th January 2008 03:17 AM

^Thank you for clearing that up! I was seriously thrown off the track for a moment.

(I hope Exile and Kobu----- goes down! :evillaugh)

I can't wait til monday!

Jwiz 6th January 2008 03:19 AM

im looking forward to tomorrow - when those arguements and confusions will finally cease; for the moment.

Luv ~Venus~ 6th January 2008 03:26 AM

Even though she's getting the #1 spot, I think people won't be satisfied with her sales. (>_>)

I don't care though! They still look good, IMO! :yes

Ayumiko 6th January 2008 04:00 AM

well we still don't know for sure that she will get weekly #1. Kobukuro is very strong...not only does their albums sell well, they just won the grand prize award which will boost their sales. Exile is also very strong. Their album is still selling well and they also won a award...so even if ayu doesn't get #1 and lost to kobukuro, (hopefully not exile too) I'm still satisfied...becuase they are talented and I rather her lose the spot to them than ppl from johnny's...XD

new best album? u mean all singles best that was released in 2006? because their new album is a studio album...and didn't both albums got #1?


I finally got my GUILTY cd from the mail...and so sad to see the album was delicated to her 'dearest friend' that passed away. Ayu must of been very close to her friend.

no!no!dun get confused by that cm guys!that cm is trying to say that kobukuro's best album peaked oricon no.1 chart for a very long period of time last year 2007~this album get released last year and sold more than 2million copies(but is still charting on oricon now)...and kobukuro just released a brand new album [5296] which is still on the top10 oricon chart now :)

but ayu's GUILTY album released 1 or 2 weeks later by that kobukuro's new album...so i guess GUILTY will take the no.1 spot :P

NO LAH!whos that idiolt that told u that!!LOL

kobukuro's new album 5296 get released on 12/19 while GUILTY released on 25/12 or the actual date 1/1/08!!

my source:http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/ xD

Ayumiko 6th January 2008 04:57 AM

kobukuro's album was released 1 week before ayu's...so GUILTY's 1st + 2nd week = kobukuro's 2nd + 3rd week sales.

no...the exact words:

This album is dedicated to a dearest person. May she rest in peace...
1976- 2007

woops...I thought its dearest friend but its person...lol..and the booklet doesn't have special thanks at the end of the credits but instead the dedication.

Jwiz 6th January 2008 07:34 AM

^ i see, it's quite grieving to see that.

Seems like Oricon page for subscriptors (paying members) has been updated with daily rankings for the last days. Kobukuro and Ayu are really close.
