[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~Colours~

[adantatu2]

I want to see Kyary on the top !!!

[Deep snow]

Wow 11th spot. I hope it can get back into the top 10 next week!

[orbitalaspect]

I think Kyary's low first week is what surprises me most. Nanda Collection sold over 100,000 first week. This is like -60% one year later.

Now ayu has the most top 10 albums for solo female along with matsutoya yumin (47 albums).

Probably includes all official Original/Compilation/Mini/Remix/Live albums.
If ayu will keep releasing a few more albums in the next few years (even being #10 weekly) she will probably be safe at the top of the record for solo females.

I don't think it's consecutive? Did ayu has any kind of official album not getting to the top 10 weekly?

It's from here.

It's awesome that she can still get so close to beat records when she doesn't seem to interest Japan that much anymore.

In case someone's still curious about albums outside top 10, they were ayu-mi-x 5 (#18), ayu trance 3 (#14) and ayu-ro mix 3 (#13). All released in 2003. I'm pretty sad for ayu-mi-x 5 though. I think it's quite good, but oh well, shit happens.

Looking at the current sales for single females, Ayu is doing really good. I don't think Ayu is not popular in Japan (of course not as much as she used to) I think it's just nowadays Idol bands are the thing. For instance, Kyary's sales aren't way higher than Ayu's and she's more recent. Namie's the exception.

Maybe I'm missing somebody. Is there any popular solo female singer in Japan right now apart from Namie, Kana Nishino or Kyary?

Aswell as the examples brener gave of miwa and aiko, there's Mizuki Nana and ayaka. Whilst not as popular as Namie or Kana, their latest albums have sold around 100k, and their singles sell well; Mizuki typically does better with physical copies, ayaka typically does better with digital copies. JUJU's album released this year also sold around 100k.

I know they're not a solo artist, but ikimonogakari (only the female member sings, I've heard there is one or two album tracks/b-sides where one of the male members sings out of 6 albums and 27 singles) are popular.

I wonder with how many copies Colours will debut in Gaon Foreign Albums Monthly. Considering that this album, soundwise, is more appealing for the korean audience. Ballada from Namie debuted with 482 copies on June ^^

Last albums sales in South Korea according to Gaon:

Love songs: 486
Party Queen: 301
LOVE again: 306

Those are the numbers she sold on the release month, Gaon only report numbers monthly ^^ She has a quite solid fanbase of 300-350 people there lol

^ That's more than here /dead

[brener]

I think only few people here in Brazil buy her albums/singles, like 20 or 50 being REALLY optmistic, with those 60% of tax a lot of people stopped buying international stuff.

[Matt_rq]

I feel like I´m the only fan of ayu that buys her albums in my country :O

[Andrenekoi]

I'm buying her digital releases lately... I know one or two people who do the same.

[brener]

The first ayu release I bought on iTunes Brasil was Colours last month

Nah! You are not alone xD

[jbrat2219]

Now that I've found out that she's on iTunes US, I'm definitely buying her singles online

[KarenPang]

If Colours was released last week , it could have gotten #2 since Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's 1st week sales is 48K with her being #1
