Latest V6 single makes history, group in same league as SMAP and B’z

[KarenPang]

V6′s 37th single “only dreaming/Catch” has made its debut at No.1 on the Japanese music charts, making it the 16th straight year the group has had a Top 10 single. The same record has only been achieved by two other music groups: B’z and SMAP.

The single has sold close to 60,000 copies, and has been used as the theme song to Yoshihiko Inohara’s (34) drama “警視庁捜査一課９係 (Keishicho Sousa Ikka 9-gakari)” and the “Waseda Academy” TV commercial.

It is the fourth consecutive No.1 single the group has had out of a total of 24 No. 1s.

And to think Ayu is on that same path should she continue for another five years.

That's really cool though!

Well, hurrah, I guess, but it's only because they've been releasing like crazy and have been planning their single releases VERY WELL. Especially their last three singles could have just as easily been no. 2 or no. 3 on the charts.

I do feel B'z and SMAP are in an entirely different league. Because, you know, their singles actually still sell (and have sold) amazingly, but maybe I'm just whining XD

I actually agree with this. But congrats to them!
