Also - correct me if I'm wrong, but day 1 sales are going to go towards today's weekly chart. Sales from today until next Tuesday will count for next wednesday's chart without including A Classical day 1 sales?

The weekly sales were released 12 hours or so before A Classical's first day was revealed.
Basically, how it works usually is...
CDs release on Wednesday -> CDs chart for 6 days -> weekly sales are announced on Tuesday morning -> Tuesday evening's sales start a new Oricon week and are posted at around 7pm/8pm (there are usually no new releases here, so it's a bit of an 'extra day' that most releases have over new releases, so after the first week of 6 days, most CDs get a 7 day charting period) -> new CDs come out on Wednesday -> repeat
But in this case, instead of having A Classical come out with other new releases, it was released on the 'extra day' that releases the week before usually get. This day also tends to have pretty low sales.
And as for acknowledging her rankings, usually people tweet her that X or Y got #1 and she's like "Yay!" or she makes some emoticon faces. That didn't happen for the last few releases since well, none of them reached #1 on Oricon.
