Well, some albums do have those jumps + charting power.

It reminds me of Ayaka's First Message, which sold like 350k in its first week and went on to sell 1.2 million copies on the long run.

We keep seeing A BEST jumping in the charts (even though it's iTunes) every now and then. Why is this different?
It sucks because it's not Ayu doing the jump this time, but they do happen.

Plus, the market is way different than it was 9-10 years ago. Back then every week was a whole different battlefield. Now it's not uncommon for singles and albums to linger around at the top because it's just a matter of a couple hundred copies.
