She did it!! WOOHOO :D
Very low sales for Ayu though, but oh well. At least she made #1 :D

STATS from oricon
from anime_fanatic21's (oricon) article:

36th single to be in TOP 10 (#1 for females)
up to this wk, 19,610,000 singles sold (#1 for females)
25th single to debut at #1 on the weeklies (tied for #1 for females)
she now has 3 #1 titles.

also:
13th consecutive single to debut at #1

Glad she got #1.

Thanks for the news! :)

Could you please post the similar stats for groups and males? :)

:( only number 1 for a day ? What happened? Well I don't think the single is that strong anyway.

Well instead of being disappointed be happy that she got another #1.

sorry, i dunno where to find these info. i only posted these stats thru translation of anime_fanatic21's article.

I'm glad that she got #1 because I'd like to see her keep her #1 streak. However I think the lower sales are a combo of people waiting for the new album and people just not liking the style that much.

I agree with your point. Most fans are teens or young people who can't really afford to spend a lot of money so they probably just wait for the album even if this single won't be in the next album.

Maybe sales will rise during xmas xD

i'm pretty sure the announcement of the new album made the single's sales drop. but i'm very glad she managed to keep the number 1 position! :]

really glad to know she get number one for weekly chart
but the poor sales is really make me sad

I thought it was because B&D is such a bad song.... ^.~

All these people were all worrying about Ayu :rolleyes
what a waste of worrying...

Her true fans will be behind her always ;)

Go Ayu!

You should listen to it more often. I was appauled at the preview and wasn't much more satisfied with the finished product... AT FIRST! After watching the PV and a few more listens, I really began to like this song! I am sure you would to if you gave it more of a chance. I don't know how many Ayu songs I hated at first, but ended up loving (No Way To Say, forgiveness, ourselves, Carols, and more) in the end!

:innocent Ya Ya Ya Ya Ga Ga Ga Ga Da Da Da Da Wo Wo Wo Wo

yeah... B&D is not a song that you would love it immediately. It takes time to fill up your mind.

Now we can focus on the new album. I hope B&D will be on the album.. Otherwise it's a pity to the single, selling that bad... People will think, "Ah i already have had the mp3 so I dun bother buying the single then."

Wow, she did it! #1 of the week!
I was sure she wouldn't be ^^ I hope the sales will stay like this for long, or at least the album sells good.

I'm amazed it's selling so bad! I would have thought that it would have sold a lot better! I really like it, though I guess it's an aqquired taste...I actually think it's a strong single, but the remixes aren't the most inviting either...

thanks for the info
