Total Reported Sales: 60,254

the worst sales since FUNKY TOWN single... :/ I thought it would sale more because it is a triple A-side single and it's got a very strong tie-in, even WILD/Dr. had sold more than 100k. But oh well, I'm aware that her single sales are almost ALWAYS poor ^^

[Minttulatte]

^I was pretty surprised when I saw that because no matter what I said, I was expecting better sales lol D:

[Beauty4123]

aww, i hope it would reach 100k eventually. but namie's a better album seller so i'm sure her next album will do much better.

[bondingo]

Wow, that's really too bad. At least the album sales will inevitably be much better. Maybe everyone realized all three songs will probably be on the album lol. Then again, we all know what happened with the SPEED STAR

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

I hope not all three are on the next album, I want mostly new songs, not mostly old songs... If they're gonna put some on, I would say Break It!, NAKED, and Tempest.

[Zeke.]

Tempest to me sounds so drawn out. It's like she's just whining. Lol.

The melody is similar to BoA's Winding Road during the chorus (and this is one of my fav BoA songs), minus the whining.

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

No offense, but BoA and Namie are different singers with different singing styles. The chorus melody sounds nothing like the one in Tempest, and Namie does not whine. But I do like BoA, I'm not being biased. It's just my opinion.

[adantatu2]

^+1, It's really different, and Tempest for me is better

[Kingdom]

Single sales are okay, they're not bad at all. I was a little surprised by them too though, mostly because I really like this single and think it deserves more.

U forgot Break It/Get Myself Back? It only sold 58k first week,

And WILD/Dr. didn't sale more than 100k in its 1st week, it's 75,456

so comparing those recent numbers with NAKED/FT/Tempest's 60k 1st week sale, it can't not be the worst sale since FUNKY TOWN single


2007 "Funky Town" 34,292 / 54,000
2008 "60s 70s 80s" 114,719 / 293,000
2009 "Wild / Dr." 75,456 / 119,000
2010 "Break It / Get Myself Back" 58,557 / 85,000
2011 "Naked / Fight Together / Tempest" 60,254 / Still selling

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

^^^ Agreed

[Maemi]

@Rocky Raven Unless it surpasses Break It/Get Myself Back sales, it will be her worst-selling single since 2007.
P.S. And since it's still selling (can't believe that had been released like 2 weeks ago), yes, it's very likely that it will surpass 80k. It would be a shame, if won't.

Have to agree, but tbh I think it's pretty stupid in general to go to a singer's thread and call their singing 'whining'. Looking for drama much?

Anyway, I don't see any similarity. I like BoA's music, and I love Namie's music, but as ハート〜ブレーカ♥ said, they're two very different singers.

[prussian blue]

after listening to FULL MOON for several years, I realized there's a man's moaning sound during the chorus
