They also made announcements like this for both BLUE BIRD and Secret on the first day, if memory serves correctly. This is something they can do because, well, from what I remember BLUE BIRD more than doubled the sales of it's number 2 competitor, and Secret, as well, obiliterated the competition for the week.

All in all, the announcement is pretty much a no duh report. Of course the albums will be number 1 and 2, it's just nice to have early confirmation.
