AKB48's New Single "Beginner" ships 1,030,000 copies
![]() First time a single has shipped over one million copies since Utada Hikaru's "Addicted To You" back in 1999. Yes, it is appropriate to freak out now. |

wow, that's a lot. I think they're overrated but I think "Beginner" is a pretty good song so congrats to them.

For the sake of comparison, it was initially reported by RIAJ that their last single, Heavy Rotation shipped 650,000. The single sold 527,336 in its first week.
While it doesn't seem very likely that they can clear 1,000,000, they could probably sell around 700k ![]() Last edited by Polyrhythm; 25th October 2010 at 10:16 PM. |

I'm not a fan in the least, but you have to give them some kudos for this. I know shipping a million isn't necessarily selling a million, but damn!

^^^Yeah, all the videos you'll find will have the audio edited to prevent them from being taken down. :-/ I agree though, I think Beginner is a pretty strong pop track that it can appeal to people outside of Idol fandom.
^lol as it turns out, Momosu is releasing this week under their sushi promo persona: "Muten Musume" . But I bet people are still gonna look at it as Momosu losing to AKB regardless. XD |

i just can't get into AKB like I was into Morning Musume.
they're music, imo, is really annoying. However, as personalities I still find them entertaining. But congrats on shipping over 1 million copies :O
