Good to see that it's selling 2k+ copies consistently everyday.

I hope the DVD will reach 100K :yes

she's been really consistent and steady! :D

It's cool that she's still within top 3 in her 4th week :)

Very small drops this time around! I think she's even gone up at some points.

steady sales!! keep going Rock'n'Roll Circus!!!

Yaaaaaaay!! Still going strong! Awesome! :D

why does gaga sales jump back to top 10....

It's true! There are some days when it goes up a bit! So great!

Not everyone can have the good taste to support Ayu. :no

OMG still in #2?? isn't today the day with new releases???

so great!

oucchh.. the DVD sold half of last week

oh I forgot the DVD!! XD Well it seems like it will end selling nly a bit more than the others ^^ But it's so GREAT that her DVD son only don't go down, but seems like often they sell more!! (Like CDL 07-08)

It´s good to see Ayu´s sales increasing

^ and staying on top 5 for 3 weeks! :)
Im hoping for consistency on it

Top 5 for three whole weeks is really cool; I don't think that happened with NL or with GUILTY.

Sure, it's very amazing ^^ but strange too this chart life is strange, she dropped a lot quickly and now she stays steady for the while >...>

These charts have odd lives of their own lol

^ yeah

and this is cool ^___^ just stay steady, please

Yessss, please stay steady~!!

I hope we can keep going steady...

Probably she can get 16k this week

Ayu has been doing really good none the less, she'll be in the rankings for a bit longer.

She's only like 70k away from matching NL sales... I'm so happy!!!!!

she is selling super well! keep at it ayu!

3rd Day
Position: #5
Sales: ?
Total Sales: ?

3rd Day DVD
Position: #12 (Music)

what? dropped to #5???!!

too bad... T.T

it' rather normal ^^

300k seems almost sure, I hope it'll have long chart life, maybe it'll end selling 333k like Secret sold 666k LOL

I think its normal since there is new releases and stuff like that
I do hope she stays in the top 5 for this week to xD

The new releases from yesterday have finally kicked in, haven't they? But that's fine because even after so long #5 is still an awesome position to hold!

She'll sell maybe 15K to 20K this week; I'm not quite sure to be honest, these charts are crazy, they can't be predicted lol

Because in general, when it comes to Western artists in Japan, they don't really have very strong debuts or first weeks but end up selling for a looong time, generally longer than Japanese releases. She hasn't had a number one like ayu, but I'm sure she'll end up selling more.

Even so, I'm so glad she's still doing this greatly. 300k is certain now!

after 3+ weeks...that was expected.

The No.3 sold 2782
maybe ayu sold today 2100

i'm just curious why it could jump back to top 10 again,,,
is it becuz m-sta performance,,,
how much gaga sold with this album in total,,,

there was also "The Monster Ball Tour" in Kobe on April 14 +15 and in Yokohama on the 17th + 18th..that could be another reason why her cd sales have gone up recently

39 week 3 Ayumi Hamasaki - Rock'n'Roll Circus Avex Trax Japan - 22.000

3rd week, ayu @ 39~~World charts

4th Day
Position: #5
Sales: ?
Total Sales: ?

Lol The only downside to not being in the top 3 is the fact that we need to wait till the very end of the week to know how much it sold altogether; it's pretty exciting in a way lol

hope for 15-20k this week...so next week it will break 300k

I think the music station performance also had a lot to do with it. I remember sales going up immediately afterwards. Not just the album, but the song Telephone suddenly surged up in the Recochoku ranking.

4th DayDVD
Position: #14 (Music)

Yeah, me too; 15k to 20k should be a safe bet. Just hope it continues to stay steady :D

Well it sold 21,000 last week... This week it should be around 10,000. ^^

As long it stays on top 5, im fine with it since there are some artists releasing their album this week or some artist like Gaga had an increase on sales.

5th Day DVD
Position: #12 (Music)

Geez I'm so curious about the sales amount..

Me too *rolls about insanely*

woo it went up to #4 on a saturday~

Urgh.. Just waiting for the album released here!!

Glad it climbed up a spot~

YAY! up to #4! :D

hope it'll sell 15k this week... :D

come on Japan...! buy some more RnRC! it deserves more~~~

Climbed up a spot?! Yes!! Gooooo! It deserves great sales.

I'm a bit confused with the sales right now...here, the sales are 274 000+++...but in the wikipedia, the sales are already 740000....can anyone tell me the correct sales?

I think whoever could've done that was insane, or insanely hopeful lol 740,000is just really so hopeful :P

Edit: I just checked wiki myself; I don't see that number anywhere though -_-'

Wikipedia could have taken it down. That's a RIDICULOUS number of sales for two weeks xD

I'm so happy to see how steady the sales are. It's great! It's good to hear what a success R'n'RC is as well. This is her best sales in awhile. I hope she breaks 300,000.

The only valid sales sources are AHS' oricon threads, jpopmusic's oricon thread and jpopstop's wiki.
There's no point in looking on wikipedia since for most jpop artists their sales are getting messed.

Wikipedia can't be trusted xD

To be honest, as much as I love Jpop Stop their numbers are rarely very reliable as well. They have either not been updated in a long time, or are made up by a fan who wants to boost sales. It doesn't happen all the time, but it can. Just be cautious XD

Glad she's back to no. 4!

And sometimes people just don't read things properly or believe in absurd numbers... other day i e-mailed a Hikaru fansite cuz they wrote First Love sold 50million copies

Haha, yeah. Those things often have to do with people misinterpreting the Japanese. They see "175man" (in kanji) and think that means 175 million, when it only means 175 x 10.000 = 1.75 million. I saw errors like that with flumpool XD. (175 million song downloads, WTF?)

still lingering in the top 5~

uhh any strong releases for next week??? I really hope it won't get kicked out of the top 10 too soon :(


thanks for the update btw

the only 'strong' release of sorts which will drop this coming Wed is Suga Shikao's 10th album FUNKASTiC

then again he's not really a strong singles/albums seller to begin with but other than that , I don't see that much competition going on for albums til probably July when YUI released her 4th album

Ohh ok. I don't even know what Sugar Shikao is but good luck :D

omg I had no idea YUI was releasing an album xD


thanks ^^ I hope RnRC keeps strong until then :yes

LOL. It's Suga :rolleyes He's been out there for years xD never liked him though. Didn't he compose a number of songs for arashi?

Beh another YUI album, the girl shouldn't be allowed to bore people anymore xD Somehow I can't see YUI selling more than 200k over-all.

I hope next week it'll be still in the top 5 :D

LOL it's Suga Shikao . He has been around in the music business for 15 years & counting

YUI haven't release an album since 2008's I LOVED YESTERDAY but yeah it's already confirmed she will release her 4th album on 7th July

Suga only composed/wrote Aozora Pedal for ARASHI

for KAT-TUN , he only provided the lyrics for their debut single Real Face while B'z's Tak Matsumoto was in charge of the kick ass melody :D

lol oopsie xD

YUI's 4th album omg I'm like stuck on her first single :no




I wonder if RnRC is gonna stay long on the charts :)

I wouldn't be surprised if YUI's new album will sell well since like what I said before , she hasn't released a new album since 2008

& she has been getting 100K & above for her singles sales in recent times but yeah hopefully it wouldn't be a disappointment as I LOVED YESTERDAY was , where the album tracks were really samey

I still think CAN'T BUY MY LOVE is her best album release to date

& oh yeah , not to pour cold water on everyone but there's ARASHI who hasn't release a new album since 2008 too :innocent & since in recent times they have enjoyed a HUGE amount of popularity re-surge after releasing Step and Go , I don't know if their 9th album will sell like crazy

then again Johnny's albums do not sell as well as their singles but I don't know LOL

^ I lost interest in YUI somewhere around after LOVE & TRUTH (<3) was released, after that I only liked Namidairo and again. Her previous album sold 100k less than GUILTY and it was released in the same year and My Short Stories barely broke 250k ^_^

Definitely being in top 10 next week will be awesome for the sales...

LOVE & TRUTH :heart

well you shouldn't include MY SHORT STORIES in the picture since it's her 1st B-side best compilation

FROM ME TO YOU , CAN'T BUY MY LOVE & I LOVED YESTERDAY's release time span difference were about a year each

I guess that fans also knew that I LOVED YESTERDAY is not as good as CAN'T BUY MY LOVE which explained its lower sales figure

wow still in the top 5 ^^

aw... dropped again to #5 at the 6th day? :(

YUI is pretty much guaranteed 200k+ at least. All of her singles have been selling more than 100k and around the level that Ayu's sell, and it's her first album in around 2 years. I doubt it'll live up to its predecessor. 300k+ might be hard.

I also think that by the way YUI has been selling she's guaranteed at least 200K.

So happy for Ayu; last few days of yet another week and she's still in the top 5!

lol I love, DROPPED to 5, when you are in top 5 you are always at the top ^^ (specially for a 4th week)

Not sure about what the total sales are of this week, but I get the feeling after the high rankings that 300K will be during the first half of the new week alone. She really can't be that far off from 300K by now.

So proud of her :D

Thanks foyuki! So it should be #4 weekly. :D It's a great position for the 4th week.

Btw Rock'n'Roll Circus is #2 monthly album of April 2010!

who's first ?!
It's great this charts ^^ 290k this week ?

7th Day DVD
Position: #9 (Music)

YAY! back @ #4 again! :D

hope she'll be @ #4 this week~~~ :)

well still at top 5, that's good! :D

the DVD seems to be doing pretty good too! xD

Yeah I don't think that the DVD will have a big drop from last week's sales. ^^

she's so lucky no any major artist release an album for these 2 weeks

wow VOCALISTS albums seems to always sell so well... >.>
hope ayu can stay in the charts for a few more weeks :P

Yeah, by something th has showed us it looks like that album and its sequels sell like crazy in their first weeks, and the first few had SUPER long chart lives.

Ayu can hang in there; she'll survive a while, I'm sure :D

It's 272,394 for a few days already.... are the sales going to be updated later or she's not selling enough to be displayed?

She's not selling enough for it to be displayed.

^ I see, too bad :( Well, I'm sure she'll reach 300k in due time... I hope :) She deserves that at least ...

^It's okay since 300K is just around the corner :D

I was actually expecting RnRC to sell less than it is now tbh.

She'll get 300K easy :) I'm more interested to see how far it'll go after that milestone. Honestly, it deserved to outsell NEXT LEVEL, it's such a great (and better :P) album.

im liking the charting


and please 300k soon. . .anyway. this is fine. still top 5.

I think #2, #3, #4 and #5 are selling around 2k~3k so maybe this week sold around 15k, that's so good!

13,114 sold this week~
