I think LOVE made top five but again was like #7 or so?

LOVE had to go against two JUJU best albums (100k~ each) and an ARASHI 2nd week (97k), while again was up against two YUI best albums (115k~ each), a Mr. Children album (not first week, 82k), a Yumi Matsutoya best that is a super good value (not first week, 74k), and an EXILE best album (380k). again was also outsold by the BIGBANG release thing which is kind of sad but eh....

It's not so much that they sold that poorly, but that a lot of things sold very well. Also, those releases actually got promoted which helps imo.

okay, that's exactly what i thought. people don't seem to realise that those cashcow pop groups that won't ever go away (with the exception of my girl juju) are guaranteed to make a mint even if they release an entire single of like, fart noises or w/e. just because they're releasing it, it'll sell lol
