Nah lOL...just that i didnt expect such high sales index.

If this keeps going on (for their next two albums) there's no way for GUILTY to stay in top 10.

[TITANIC]

it's mean total 1st day sales is 205,049 copies..
OMG...

I know my god :O

I didn't expected EXILE to clear 200K on the 1st DAY :O

if this keeps up ... they will def have the highest 1st week sales for the year :O

Singles
x->1 - 20th Century - 8,116 (x1.75) = 14,203
x->2 - Satoh Takeru & Sieg - 3,933 (x1.75) = 6,883
x->3 - Tourbillon - 3,633 (x1.75) = 6,358

ALBUMS
x->1 - Exile - 120,614 (x1.7) = 205,044
1->2 - Utada Hikaru - 12,706 + 14,335 (x1.7) = 45,970
x->3 - Aoyama Thelma - 13,686 (x1.7) = 23,266

w00t, looks like Hikki will definitely get the #2.

[elepop]

I think Namie might get #2 this week! If she's lucky, maybe another #1!

EXILE is totally insane. I don't get what's the hype about these guys at all. XD

[ayu_fan929]

I think Namie's index was too low for her to get #1 this week.

Also according to EXILE's official site (which means according to avex), CATCHY BEST has shipped 1 million units.

How is it outrageous? I thought HEART STATION was a kickass album, and I'm surprised it didn't sell more (seeing as how well Flavor Of Life sold). EXILE's multiple best albums on the other hand...now THAT is an outrage.

[KarenPang]

not to mention EXILE's putting out 3 best albums for this year ! The 2nd best album EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST's gonna drop in July

Never underestimate the fangirls, I suppose. Still, can someone explain to me EXILE's appeal? They're more of a middle-aged-manband than a boyband, and their music isn't ALL THAT great (at least, not the songs I've heard). Is it because they appeal to men and women whereas female artists tend to appeal more to women and less to men?

That is part of the reason - their fanbase is made up both male and female. And maybe because Takahiro (the new member) has brought in more fans?

I actually think they're music is pretty good though.

[AyuGAME]

its really weird for me,
exile has lost their popularity, but they back and become really powerful lately...
i don't think their music is change or improving..so its weird..

[KarenPang]

is it bcos of the shirtless appeal that brought EXILE back ?

I know 1 member left the band to pursue a solo career . The remaining guys recruited a new dude & then suddenly they became even more popular than ever

& wow Avex has shipped out 1 million of their CATCHY BEST ? :O
