[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~Feel the love / Merry-go-round Single~

[truehappiness]

Considering that it's been a while since her last single and the entire landscape of sales have changed, this is pretty good. Flower must be getting a TON of promo lately.

[AyuGAME]

not bad...hope it's rising!

[truehappiness]

I wonder if there's a high likelihood that certain copies aren't being counted at the moment... (fan club editions and MUSIC CARD) or if they are banking on event sales to give a teeny bit of a boost?

[Ahi_max91]

i miss ayu so much~ really excited about this charts~

[YUKARI]

these sales are still more than kyary pamyu pamyu had for her first day of her latest single. and Namie had almost the same numbers for her latest single. so I guess it's OK.

I guess the sales could be higher if she appeared on TV performing the song BEFORE the relese. I hope her MSSL live will help a bit.

hmm... I guess it will sell like 40k in the long run......... what do you guys think?

[AyumiAi]

not bad not bad ^^ almost 18k, considering she did very limited promotion, though the lives should help keep it alive longer! glad i contributed! and hopefully this starts the return of ayu singles!

[visionfactory]

Oh shoot...

Well we have to keep expectations low...
Mika Nakashima and BoA sells like 10k
Koda Kumi 20k
Namie 30k

It's a hard time for soloists

[brener]

don't forget about these

aiko: 60k (we can compare her with ayu since her last single was released in 2011 and now she was able to sell over 60k with her new single 2 years later...)

Kana Nishino: 30-40k

Nana Mizuki: 80k (her collaboration singles with T.M. REVOLUTION sold over 100k)

[truehappiness]

Nana has so many fans because of her seiyuu status, haha. And Valvrave.

[brener]

and aiko is one of the most loved singers ever


talking about the numbers I just hope for some steadiness and longevity...

[truehappiness]

I don't really understand aiko's popularity... but I guess she has all of those Oricon Style readers behind her, haha.

[brener]

btw i doubt ayu will sell over Momoiro Clover Z, she will be #4 on Weekly ^^

Venue limited single it looks like... wouldn't those only count for 30% of what they normally would on Oricon?

what do you mean? '--' the 24k won't be counted?

[Tomoyo]

congrats on taking #3 ayu! so proud!!

[truehappiness]

No, it will, but they probably sold more than that.

I'd hope Ayu sells more during the week... it's not like it will go directly to 1,000 a day, right?

[brener]

My expectations are:

2nd: 7k
3rd: 4k
4th: 3k
5th: 3k
6th: 2k
7th: 2k

First Week: 38~40k

but i don't think ayu will be able to beat Momoiro since their single is 24k ahead :~ they might sell around 15k during the week.

[njanjayrp]

The Momoiro Clover Z single has already dropped a lot because it seems it was a one day special I do think Ayu can clear 30k the first week, so she should have no problems getting that #3.

[brener]

Momoiro is actually #7 on daily charts (it didnt drop a lot '-').. I think it will rise during the week...

[Bigtop]

#3...welcome to status quo...

I know HSJ is #1...who's #2?
