Of course Sunrise was a success. It's a happy, peppy summer song and fans were invited to be in the PV. :laugh

Even if it wasn't extraordinary by musical standards, the Japanese eat that kind of stuff up lol.

^ i hate how it was such a hit but the oricon sales don't reflect it at all

^LOl yea. But it reassures to know that Ayu is STILL doing well. I mean, nowadays, it seems like Digital charts are everything. Just looking at the kpop industry, digital sales are included in ranking purposes so..now it really is wow. But of course, physical sales generate more revenue nonetheless.
All i care is her maintaining her #1 streak till time is up.

Days is immensely popular. I'm so happy for that! ^^

welcome back Days on daily chart

lol...Days is out from the chart for 1 day and it came back on the next day?
this is good :D

Way to go Days! Good job to you too You were... ;)

is Days the new Blue bird ??????

because, i think since heaven in 2005
ayumi only scored two hits singles: blue bird and days

they are the only singles that sold great both digital and oricon
now it would be funny if days chart for another year, it is already the longest ayu single to chart digitally, so if it is for 2 years in a row... wow, go go ayumi!

^ add Together When... and that's it :p though it seems Rule was very well accepted too.

I'm happy ayu's recent releases been doing well on the digital chart and her physical sales is very good for an female artist.

And Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ was at least a semi hit as well!
Maybe the single sold 110,000 but if it did better than Days digitally then it does say something.

has RED LINE charted in recochoku?

It peaked in the dailies at #11 in chaku-uta and #22 in chaku-uta full, but dropped like a rock after everyone got to hear it. RED LINE needs more love! It's just what Japan wants! I think...

The music box mix of You were... also charted barely in the top 100 in the late 80s-90s for a few days.

There's the link as a source at the main post =D

http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/index.html

Here you go. ^^

thank you!

is it possible to look at past weekly rankings?

i could only find the past monthly ranking :S

You're welcome!

No since they change it every week and I don't think that they keep it (they might though somewhere) I'm not sure about it or know if they do and where they do.

For monthly they update it once a month so you will be able to see December's monthly rankings until the beginning of February when they will update it to January. =D

^ you can see the whole top 100 for whatever month you want actually ... they have a "backnumber" thing.

i just made a list for all of ayu's highest monthly peaks on Chaku-Uta Full. XD

Oh cool! How do you do it? xD

Share with us if you like too. ^^

http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_rankin...ber/index.html

it's on the menu bar at the bottom. it's liek the last thing you can click on.

you can see all the different monthly and yearly charts for all the formats but not weekly >.<

Ayu's highest monthly peaks:
You Were 24
Sunrise 2
Sunset 26
Next Level 62
Rule 9
Sparkle 65
Days 6
Green 57
Who… 66
My All 57
Mirrorcle World 15
Life 50
Together When… 2
(don't) Leave Me Alone 50
Talkin' 2 Myself 13
Glitter 8
Fated 22
Secret 57

Thank you! =D

^ Woah, Sunrise was as great as Together When... in downloads. That's cool.

Well You were...'s monthly ranking will be higher, it's 1st day alone made it to be 24 monthly, the rest would go to this month. ^^

You should write if it's chaku uta or chaku uta FULL. ^_^

Just an FYI, Together When...'s Chaku Uta (Double Platinum) was her first #1 monthly IIRC. The Chaku Uta Full (Platinum) only made it to #2, I guess. I think this is exactly the amount (750k+) of downloads that Sunrise ended up selling, isn't it?

http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/chart/w080120_1.html

Yes.
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ has double platinum for chaku uta and platinum for chaku uta FULL just like Together When...

Whoa.... Everyone loved Sunrise didn't they? xD;

That list was for Chaku-Uta FULL that i posted if i didn't clarify earlier. Yes, Sunrise was a smash! Love that song.

WoW! Sunrise did even better than almighty Days!:thud
And DLMA did better than Sparkle. hehe intresting

^ Sparkle was probably pretty burned out by the time of it's official release because of the Honda Promo and CM Version sales, which is likely the reason as to why it did so poorly digitally.

EDIT: Yes, "Sparkle (CM Mix)" peaked at #11 for ringtones, and then was still #97 the next month. "Sparkle (Album Mix)" was #95 that month.

If the included the different versions into one chart, it probably could have charted on ringtones for a third month. (PS -- I do expect "Sparkle" to get certified for Chaku Uta this month or next month. GREEN was certified, and Sparkle probably would have charted similarly if it wasn't split into two separate charting entities.)

Believe it or not, this isn't the case. Together When...'s Chaku Uta also only made it to #2.

wat???
Life made a chart too???

i've always been so curious as the exact sales of the songs. is there any way to find them? or does someone have access to them?

Recochoku's data must be off then... RIAJ basically reposted the monthly Recochoku data every month until Recochoku did it themselves.

http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/chart/w090320_1.html / http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_rankin...nthly_uta.html
Rule is #10 here, but #14 on the Recochoku site. It looks like certain tracks maintain their rankings, and then there are some that are quite different. Weird. Many more Ayu album tracks seem to chart in the monthlies on RIAJ's site too...

I wonder why there would be a discrepancy when this is simply supposed to be Recochoku's monthly data on RIAJ.or.jp... hm.

No unfortunately. Just RIAJ certifications which are used to determine songs' sales (like gold 100,000-250,000, Platinum 250,000-500,000 etc.).

http://www.avex.co.jp/j_site/press/2010/091106_2.pdf

According to this press release, Sunrise sold 530,000 Chaku Uta ringtones and about 20,000 Chaku Movie clips.

oooo That's great! Thank you. =D

whaoow.. 530,000 downloads.. so it should be certified double platinum,right?
thanks for the update

Yes, we knew it was double platinum since a month or two ago.

But it's only a bit higher than we estimated. I hope You were... has a nice number in the next avex press release. (Likely to be released in the next two weeks.)

Ohh really? maybe I missed that news or maybe I forget that.
I quite doubt if You Were has done better than Sunrise.

great for sunrise!! wow, seems like japanese fans LOVE that song!

if we know Surnise PV had 20K download... we can know about Days PV too right??

Well, Days has been ranking in the "music video clip" section and the Chaku Movie one... but I guess ranking in the top for a while is a lot better than ranking in the bottom 100 for months haha.

It's a little confusing. I guess Chaku-Movie is a short version of the movie that plays when someone calls? Maybe? I'm not sure, haha.

530k? that's amaziiing!
well, sunrise it's an awesome song! so it deserves it!!
i can't wait to see how much you were... sells!

the Incoming movie clip is exactly like a chaku uta just as a PV. XD
It's divided to parts, verses, chorus etc.

I wonder, seeing how You were PV was pretyy popular too, if next year we will still see Yw on charts...

ayumisrael, by this time last year, how was Days PV in rankings? simmilar to Yw now??

I think the Days PV has been in the monthly top 100 every month since it released... except maybe last month.

It was #97ish in December for video clips and around the #60s-70s for chaku movies. Pretty amazing...

In February 2009, it was #18 in monthly video clips and #16 in chaku movies. I suppose ranking so consistently all year is what made it get the top spot in the yearlies.

BALLAD already gone. Y/W doesnt have longevity like S/S but still good tho

walking.proud it's exactly like truehappiness said. =D
Thank you th! ^^

Yeah it seems that Sunrise/Sunset did better (and Sunrise overall) though maybe there is a chance of platinum for chaku uta and platinum for chaku uta FULL (or platinum for chaku uta and gold for chaku uta FULL), but we will see.
Might just end up gold somewhere.
