[Charts & Rankings] NEXT LEVEL Official Sales & Positions Thread II ~the opening Run~

[kuri♥ayu]

thanks for the sales comparison ayumisrael it's really nice to see that NEXT LEVEL is at least selling a little better than GUILTY. congrats for another #1

PS>> @ SURREAL RAINBOW: your set seriously makes me LOL everytime i see it ;p

[gogoayu]

wow! i NEVER post but I just want to congratulate ayu. As long as I've been an Ayu fan, I've never seen a succeeding album sell more than the previous album. It's selling more than guilty so far. Wow! This is some Confessions of a Dance Floor *******!

[jbrat2219]

I'm glad she's at least selling better than GUILTY!

[RikkuChii]

Huh..maybe Oricon could go back to using the x1.75 index thingy again? It looks much better. XD

[Lanz16]

^ maybe yeah.

If you calculate with the index, you'll surprise what it looks like.

189,661 (1st 4 day sales) x1.75 = 331,906
O___O

[ayumisrael]

^Albums were calculated in 1.7 singles with 1.75 xD.
Though yeah no indexes anymore but if there were NL's numbers were lower of course T_T.
I'm glad that meanwhile NEXT LEVEL's 4 days sold more than GUILTY on its 4 days by far.
I hope it will maintain the sales though.

[Lanz16]

^Ooopsie!
I forgot that one! ^^

So, NL's 1st 4 day sales would be 322,423.


Too bad they're not using indexes anymore.

[jbrat2219]

Yeah I miss the index too... ;_;

Secret sold 386,280 in first week and total 675,297 with 18 weeks in top 300 oricon

[jbrat2219]

^ Not much longevity. Hopefully NEXT LEVEL will be different... But only if she doesn't release like a maniac afterward.

Secret sold good!! ^^


now we all know that, economic crisis + weak album = bad sales

but because its ayu, I'm sure thats why she still got good sales!

wow, when you put it that way, NL seems to be charting just fine. i'm satisfied, anyway. i had totally forgotten about the lack of indexes this year.

i wouldn't look at it that way

[jbrat2219]

I don't think it's fair to compare it to TRICK for a number of reasons... But I think TRICK pre-warned us to how low sales would be for female Jpop stars this year. I find it funny how KINGDOM AND GUILTY both sold over 500K and now it looks like Ayu and Kuu's albums will have similar sales this year too lol.
