HEAVEN didn't debut as number one.

Number one is 好きやねん、大阪。／桜援歌（Ｏｈ！ＥＮＫＡ）／ by 無限大

Is this the first time in recent years that her single did not manage to get the no.1 debut spot?

addon: I thought HEAVEN is supposed to be released on the 14th? The chart is for 9/13...

well correct me if I'm wrong! But when I was in Japan all the cd's actually goes on sale one day early. I have no idea why. But then When I was in Japan I usually sees the cd on the rack of the cd store one day early than their release date. Moreover, you do get special stuff from the cd store. like posters and stuff...

It IS in number two..... Why? :gnash

but on the 09/09 music station, it says heaven is #1.

how shocking!!! what is wrong!!!

is she doesnt get back to no.1 then something is relli wrong

I can't live with this.

lmfao =x it's not the end of the world. She'll pop out a better single soon, or maybe a worse single and avex will drop her : D

That's exactly how I feel. I won't be satisfied until Ayu sells HUGE with HEAVEN. If it doesn't break 300,000 I swear, I'll cry. Friggin-a, I'll cry. I've been waiting for the longest time for a single like this, and for it not to be THE BEST, for it not to be NUMBER ONE, or sell THE MOST...I'd just be...crushed, to say the least. It is by far, the most superior single she's had since No way to say. I'm really torn by this. Seriously. I just can't see how people liked this song any LESS than STEP you or fairyland!!! >,< :cry god, I hope this single sells. To Ayu: I just want you to know, that I'm ordering your single as soon as I have enough money! I don't have a job, so that's kind of hard, but I want you to know that I fully support you and wish you the best with HEAVEN. It's seriously a brilliant, touching song. Love Always, Love Appears,

O.O >,< How rude.

Well, someone on Utada-Online said that this is the first time she didn't hit number 1 since Daybreak. And heck daybreak/heaven are both similar. Walk/Sing/Stand. CAROLS on the other hand..that was just a great single...

Also, on another note, Fairyland and STEP you were much stronger then Heaven because it had 2 PVs instead of just 1. Bargain for something.

P.S. it's not the end of the world, don't cry. She's bound to go downhill one day.

i'm really SHOCKED when know this fact too
i think it was her BEST single in 2005
but the result....
if the other single do this..i will not get this surprise but its happen when HEAVEN release
I'M SHOCKED!!

She should have made the cover image more interesting >_>

well, is the Oricon charts updated?

>.< I don't like it being number 2 XD...that broke the record of 11 number 1 singles in a row XD.

Oricon changed the release date to 14th by the way~

and now she is third ??

I second That !!
GO AYU ..

i think there is little chance that she will be number 1 this week :(
