I wonder if it's possible for Ken to hantam B'z when he release his recut single next Wed

somehow I doubt it but let's say how things goes

ayu_fan929 20th April 2008 04:36 AM

I say THSK or Shuchishin #1 next week.

dddaiyamondo 20th April 2008 07:21 AM

GO THSK!

criminal 20th April 2008 12:23 PM

I hope Perfume can make it to the top with this album and have a long lasting popularity. D:

Uemarasan 20th April 2008 01:39 PM

Man, Hikki fans really are the most rabid on the Internet...

Why can't people accept the fact that she isn't as popular now as she was a few years back? That doesn't mean her music is necessarily worse.

The new Evangelion movie and Hana Yori Dango 2 were both huge hits in Japan. It's silly to pretend that they didn't influence the sales of her singles and album. What do you think happened to her Heart Station single, which didn't even sell more than 100 K? No tie in, no money, honey.

Sales... does...not...equal... good music... Wash, rinse, repeat.

Of course, I think HS is not a very good album. At least no one will say it's her worst. That honor belongs to Exodus, which is now enjoying its life as a coaster on my table.

TITANIC 20th April 2008 02:33 PM

yeahh finally perfume will win :D

Anyway, Goooooo Pafyumu!!!! LOL. I'm glad they've finally reached popularity :D:D:D

Luv ~Venus~ 20th April 2008 06:19 PM

Yay for 60s70s80s (Can we find a shorter way to abreviate this! :dead2)! I happy that it's still in the top ten after all this time. Hmmm...charting life seems to be all the rave for singles this year...or something of that sort.

.....trust me, most Hikki fans don't sound as if they wouldn kill themselves if she doesn't sell fanatastically or chart well.

:thud Err....ur late. They have accepted the fact that she isn't as popular now as a few years back.

Err.....we, or at least I, never said that it didn't. With or without the tie-in, it still sold. :P And c'mon! Are that blind with the Hikki hatin' to see that the reason that it didn't sell because there was no incentive to buy the single. I'll buy MW before I buy HS/SG. At least I'll get my money's worth. Besides, u should know that most of Hikki's sales are driven towards dls. True doesn't sell like she use to physically (we all can't deny that) but digitally, she dominates the charts. Note: This was way before the FoL tie-in, so u can't use that as an excuse as to why her digital sales are high.

I dunno, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, and Xtina have really annoying e-fanbases. Hikki wins if you just look at the Jpop stans.

No honey no one with half a brain thinks commercial success is the only indicator of quality. It's an indicator of good marketing ploys.

EXODUS is a horrible album. Her vocals are a mess on every track and most of the lyrics are terrible.

I'm sorry but what is this rant in reponse to? Please take your theories and opinions on her music to the official Hikki thread, no one has been talking about this subject for quite some time :no

i think MW will get number 6

dddaiyamondo 22nd April 2008 04:37 AM

I'm guessing that means Hikki will be #6.

Luv ~Venus~ 22nd April 2008 07:12 AM

^I hope so. This week's charting seemed.....wierd I guess. Idk! Since Exile prolly sold 52K this week (why can't they stop charting), I hope Hikki is somewhere in the 42k area. I hope she can also stay in the top 10 for another week.

Low numbers for B'z, great job for Morning Musume, I'm shocked at how low Ayu's second week was, and nice job for Hikki! She managed to sell much more than ULTRA BLUE did in it's 5th week. HEART STATION only dropped by 1k!

ayumisrael 22nd April 2008 11:16 AM

What's so shocking about ayu's drop? She always have big drops!
Mirrorcle World outsold glitter/fated :yes glitter/fated's 2nd week sales were higher just in 3000 than MW's 2nd week's sales.

I know she always has large drops, but this one is a bigger drop than talkin' 2 myself, glitter/fated, BLUE BIRD or Startin'/Born to Be. That's as far back as I went. Something like an 86% drop.

ayumisrael 22nd April 2008 11:30 AM

Actually I'm more shocked with YUI's drop.

From 285,407 to 67,493 that's huge!!
Her album sold in total until now 352,900...
I didn't think YUI's drop will be huge.

Its sales are way lower than CBML's...

How much did Ayumi sell thsi week? *can't read asian characters*

Awww.....poor YUI! :cry I guess her record company didn't expect her second week competition to sell that strongly. I'm just glad she beat Exile. :dead2 I hope she comeback strong by next.

Woot for Hikki! :shimmy She's at 750k now. I just hope she doesn't drop out of the top 10 this week. I want her to hit 800K next week. That way, I'll be sure that she can surpass UB's sales.

How much did Thelma sale this week (album) and Namie (single)?

Luv ~Venus~ 22nd April 2008 12:11 PM

Thankies!

I see that Thelma's single and album is finally losing steam. It's time for her to come out with another single. Soba ni Iru is overplayed and if TA wants to keep her popularity, I think she needs to release another single.

Hmmm......Ayu dropped hard this week. *I told u guys it was the AVEX magic (j/k :laugh)* She only beat Namie by 6k and this is Namie's 5th week on the charts. Congrats to them both though.

Halla 22nd April 2008 12:21 PM

to think that this is just one of three BEST's EXILE is going to release within few months and it's already passed one million in sales? that's crazy :o

I read somewhere tho that EXILE has a wider fanbase than the typical boyband because they're not considered as the typical boyband in japan. so their fanbase has both genders and people older than the usual boyband fans.

too bad for YUI, but I think her music is just soo boring and really sameish.

that's Mariah Carey @ number 7 with 37k. western albums chart differently, since there is just the lead single out. but the album will chart longer as more singles are released. I think that Mariah is the all time best selling western artist in Japan.

CoriKaru 22nd April 2008 04:28 PM

Ayumi Hamasaki did drop a lot indeed. INDEED.

Props to Utada Hikaru for still maintaining her consistency. Still going strong. Will reach and surpass 800,000 in no time.

lol, no, Avril has only recently become popular in Japan. Mariah's #1 CD is the best-selling foreign album of all-time in Japan with 3.6 million copies sold.

Mariah has like 3x 2 million+ selling albums in Japan...

^I say it's about freakin' time. She finally got up there. I guess LF is receiving good veiwership. :yes I can't believe Soba ni is out of the top 5 though. O_O Well....yes I can. It's losing seem. Thelma will have enough by next week to become the #1 single of the year for now. Wonder who's gonna top her single though and will we see a 1+ million seller single this year? By the looks of it, we wouldn't see a one this year. :(

I've only watched a few, but Last Friends is excellent. It's not like typical doramas, which can be very corny and formulaic. It's only on the second episode but I think it's the highest quality dorama I've ever seen.

WTF @ Ken Hirai at #16. I know it's a recut, but still.

lol you're not the only 1

I somehow know that Ken Ken's recut single will not do as well as his previous singles but still this's BAD

I think the situation will be totally different if he were to include a couple of B sides as new material in the single :(

AyuGAME 23rd April 2008 01:52 PM

^i'm shock that tohoshinki doing great, i think its their highest first day sales...usually they sales badly...i just SO hate boysband (except arashi)

I'm surprised for TOHOSHINKI because I know that their sales in Japan are not so fantastic but I think the tide has probably turn for them

I don't know how & when though

ayu_fan929 23rd April 2008 03:50 PM

Even though THSK is going to drop like mad throughout the week, they're probably going to get the #1.

Luv ~Venus~ 23rd April 2008 04:20 PM

^How have their 3A/4A singles done in the past?

....And what da the crap? Thelma and Namie are out of the top 20. O_o I guess they both are starting to have that "It's overplayed" factor now.

Hooray for Tohoshinki! If they get #1 weekly, they''l be the only Korean acts to obtain to #1 singles. (Awww.....for BoA! :cry)

Poor Kenny! So he released a recut single and its @16?! O_o Does the single have a great tie-in or what? This is making me worry about Prisoner of Love *crosses fingers for it to chart waaaay better than Kenny's recut single*

Go, Arashi! I wish they would sale for their albums as they do with their singles. That reminds me, I need to dl Dream "A"live before Kaori gets me. lol

TOHOSHINKI scored their 1st no.1 hit in Japan with Purple Line so if this latest offering from them will go to no.1 , it will be their 2nd no.1

Itsuka Hanareru Hi ga Kite mo is used as the theme song for the Japanese film Ano Sora wo Oboeteru which stars Takenouchi Yutaka .

The movie will be released in Japanese theatres this Sat

dddaiyamondo 23rd April 2008 08:25 PM

If THSK gets the #1 this week, they will officially the Korean act with the most #1 hits in Japan (BoA only has one).

AyuGAME 24th April 2008 02:04 AM

^i hope it won't happen...
they don't deserve it
i still hate them for saying "we gonna take control of asian music scene" bleh...i hate them for saying that

^Even though, I luved THE FACE, it was nothing new. I think her J-fans wants the BoA they use to luv during the Valenti era back. <~My fave era of B as well. I'm simply ready for a few Korean releases from her now. Her collabration with her Tablo, Jinsu, and Bora was hot. I still listen to Anyband. hehehehe

Amai Yume 24th April 2008 06:17 AM

I'm betting Namie's single will rise throughout the week and somehow make a way into the top 15 for the week. I'm really happy for her!! She should be in the top 10 yearly with this single!

No offense but I'm glad Thelma's song is starting to lose steam. It wasn't that good IMO

I don't want Tohoshinki to get #1. As much as I love them Beautiful you is crap and Namida no Iro deserves #1 bcz it's so damn good! Plus, I'd like BoA's little record to stay, thx.

Yay ARASHI~

Now, seeing Tohoshinki's sales today, there's a chance that they might slip to #2 for the weeklies. Unless their first day sales were enough to secure the whole week like it was with Purple Line.

I wonder if Shuchinshi gonna get #1? DD: It's so close. I'm glad that they are still a thread after being cheated by the AVEX magic single, Mirrorcle world. Somehow, I want them to get #1 instead of Tohoshinki. I hope Shu-shu gets it!

Yay for ARASHI! :shimmy My babies are still @ #1. ehehehehehe Jun's sexy self. They better be at #1 or else I'm gonna have to whoop some J-Arashi fangurls ass!!! :bringit

I think Arashi could stop selling today and they'd still get #1 lol.

ayu's Mirrorcle World single jumped to #11 today after it was #23 for 2 days and then #18! I think that ayu didn't have such a jump for a long while!!
I thought Mirrorcle World will be gone from the top 20 this week but it seems I was wrong.

SINGLES
x->1->1->2->3 - Tohoshinki - 21,137 + 5,239 + 1,915 + 2,257 (x1.75) = 53,459

ALBUMS
x->1->1->1->1 - Arashi - 57,795 + 32,541 + 10,979 + 8,648 (x1.7) = 186,937
x->2->2->2->2 - BENNIE K - 10,345 + 9,237 + 5,453 + 5,832 (x1.7) = 52,474
1->3->3->3->3 - Perfume - 4,664 + 5,999 + 5,573 + 3,679 + 4,553 (x1.7) = 41,596

Not much changed, except YUI and Hikki changed spots, with HEART STATION going up to #6.

TITANIC 26th April 2008 01:36 PM

hmm JE's artists dont sell good for album yah.
looks like arahis's album, 1st day the index only 57K, step&go 1st day index is 107K if i'm not wrong

WOWOWWO MW jump to #11

KarenPang 26th April 2008 02:16 PM

I kinda agree with riozz

JE boybands don't seem to sell well for albums but they really CAN sell for singles

what's the logic ??

AyuGAME 26th April 2008 04:44 PM

who is the guy in your sig riozz?
how about SCS, what number they get for this week?
i want them to kick THSK from the top!!! (>_<)
so cool that ayu can jump to position 11
arashi sales dropping SO FAST

ll moments ll 26th April 2008 08:59 PM

only their core fanbase gets their albums. JE singles sell much more because they're cheaper (which is convenient for their target group: teenage girls), they usually have a big tie-in (i.e. "Love so sweet" for HYD2), & of course, multiple versions.

i think the reason why "Dream'A'live" is not selling as much as "Step & Go" is because "S&G" was their first CD+DVD single release ever. "D'A'L" does not have a DVD, just a bonus 2nd disc of solos.

a DVD is a much better deal than a 2nd disc, IMO. KAT-TUN's upcoming album should sell better than their last album b/c of the DVD that has the PV+making-of for their May 14th single, "DON'T U EVER STOP."

It's good that HEART STATION is selling so well. I used to think Tohoshinki was guaranteed the #1 spot for weekly singles, but now I'm not as sure.

oh right thanks for that

not to mention there're many editions/versions of singles that JE groups released

like the upcoming KAT TUN's single DON'T U EVER STOP , they have 4 editions of the single O_O

I don't think you can put out 4 editions for an album can you ?

then again that's not stopping JE from sucking the life ($ I mean) from the fangirls in Japan

ALBUMS
x->1->1->1->1->1 - Arashi - 57,795 + 32,541 + 10,979 + 8,648 + 8,484 (x1.7) = 201,360

Tohoshinki fell out of the top 3, so I can't keep track of it with the daily indexes. But today the top 3 singles are:

01. Shuchishin
02. Sakamoto Maaya
03. B'z

KarenPang 27th April 2008 12:08 PM

so from the look of things , no chance for TOHOSHINKI to get another no.1 ?

KaoriNeko 27th April 2008 02:37 PM

^good.

BUT OMG YAYA ARASHI!!! :shimmy

They probably still had a big enough lead on the 1st day to get #1.

i think they cant get #1 because scs's index still high and their sales getting worse
