[Charts & Rankings] The IV Oricon Thread of NEXT LEVEL ~Keeps rollin'~

[dreamland2.0]

Next Level is doing good!!!
Do they sell her album's at her concerts??
Although it would be weird to go to a Next Level concert without hearing the album yet!!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

hope it goes a few positions up!!

[ka♡ri.]

I'm still so glad this album is in the top positions after so long!
At first I was worried about the low sales, but then I remembered that A COMPLETE sold 850k and I was like...

Oh why does Korea count but Japan doesn't?

Of course Thanks for all the sales updates & positions ranking!n__n

I think this is why we have to take Oricon records with a grain of salt. Not all stores submit their figures there, I think that if we took the "shipped" record (which I think places NL at 450k? - can't remember! ) and subtract about 150k (which are stocks in stores across the country - I'm going by music stores here that have between 30 and 50 copies of Top 50 CDs in the store at any given time - how many CD stores are in japan?!?) we could say that's a "good guess" of how many JPN versions have actually been sold world-wide...

^ well RIAJ certified NEXT LEVEL Double Platinum in that 500K copies are shipped out

there're still about 110K lying all over the CD shops in Japan though

[marekcarey]

one spot up today,
if a large amount of new releases comes, it will surely out of top 50 in a day cos the sales are really low considering first 3 spots.

yeah the top 3 albums sales for this week are awful with KAT-TUN's Break the Records taking the #1 spot with it having 200K+ for its 1st week sales which sucks as it's such a fantastic & amazing album & it's my fave album for the 1 1/2 of '09 , Johnny's wise

except Yuna Ito & Ken Hirai whom will be releasing their albums at the end of May , I don't know for other 'big' artistes that will put out new releases

pretty high chance for NEXT LEVEL to hover in the top20 for the next few weeks

Well, I fear for every Wednesday when NEXT LEVEL will slip very low due to new releases. >.<... lol. But honestly though, I think the longevity should last for at least another month (or at least I hope so).

Extremely likely. It would be on display with the concert goods.

it's ok & at Amazon Japan

I only used their site if I want to ask my Japanese friend Shuji to get 2nd hand goods for me as they're usually much cheaper for me to afford & I don't mind buying 2nd hand stuff at all
