[Charts & Rankings] Rule/Sparkle - ORICON STYLE Thread II

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i dont think the remixes helped rule/sparkle...the remixes were awful...(the scoustic ones arent, i mean the others). i hate them so much hahaha i havent been able to even listen to them...

[Yumsushi]

I personally LOVE Green's CMJK remix and Rule's 80 Kidz. Infact they were so awesome that I had to have Version C. I thought the acoustic ones were boring.

[jbrat2219]

Yeah the acoustic ones didn't impress me as much as I'd hoped. They're still pretty though.

you can count with your hands the number of artists than can pass 100,000 copies... nowadays it is A LOT!

[SolarAngel]

Gosh, i'm surprised it is still charting with those figures.

[TITANIC]

8th week
position : #124
sales : 378
total sales : 130,540

[noidea]

But nothing compared to her sales a few years ago(even if you calculate with the declining sales), for ayu, its nothing, a single seeling under 100k from ayu is just ...o.0...o.0...o.0

I used to think that to, especially when i saw the drop in sales between Rainbow and Memorial Address singles. But even when she was selling very well, she would sort of like get top 20-50 for singles sales and top 10 for albums on an annual basis. So relative to everyone else, she's still on top of the rankings, at least for albums. I agree that even if you compare relativity, she's not as popular as before but the drop is not THAT big if you look at it from this perspective. It's just my opinion

[duque]

^you really shouldnt compare her sales from even 2 years ago or so to her sales now..since there has been HUGE changes in the music and financial world

[~X2RADialbomber~]

Singers in America have been selling terribly for a while now as well. Singles that sell 30k in the first week can still expect to get around #2 on the chart - that should show you the extent to which sales have declined heavily in Japan.

Rule/Sparkle could chart for 9 weeks even though the album was just 4 weeks away. xD
ayu's awesome.

you guys are right, but so sad R/S even cannot outsell B&D which is havin same pattern in the release. B&D sold less than 1st week R/S but end with higher number than R/S did
