So You were.../BALLAD should fall into the double week as well. Unless oricon is changing the format in 2010 (which means separating the double week into single weeks), otherwise we won't be able to see the weekly ranking till the 2nd week of Jan...

And I dun really like the idea of ayu being in double week again...
GUILTY's official release date was on Jan 1st but started charting on Dec 25th till Jan 6th as first week sales. By releasing on Dec 29th, it will be part of the double week like GUILTY. Kanjani8's 3 singles even though they'll be released 1 week before ayu's, (Dec 23wed-25fri) I think they will still fall under the double week too.
