I think because this year has been a pretty poor year thus far in terms of albums.

As for the single rankings, you can at least get an estimate of where she might be at year end just from factoring in Johnny's singles alone. Arashi is releasing one in July and will probably have another one by years end, at least one more from Kat-tun, Kinki, News, Hey Say Jump, and Kanjani 8 - that right there will push her rankings down 7 places and that's only if those groups release just one single. The Yuusuke single coming out this week will also probably make the top 10. Then it just depends what other songs this year become the breakout hits.

Arashi sold 355,253. It also holds the record for the longest time at #1 for a concert DVD.(it is indeed an amazing concert though.) Something Arashi related is also #2. The Hana Yori Dango movie sold - 346,721.

It's extremely impressive for a concert DVD to beat the dvd sales of the best selling movie dvd - its the first time that has happened actually. Also 2 of their concert dvds from a couple of years ago made the top 50 as well. Arashi is certainly on a roll.
