[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread of ~You were.../BALLAD~ II

[truehappiness]

Position is only down to 121 this week. 8 positions lower even though sales were higher by a small margin.

[freedreamer]

#10 yearly sounds great for now haha. Yea, I agree that though Ayu is still a major celebrity, she has reached a status where she's already a respectable singer and not one that is the current hype (who may subsequently fade off..thank god) and that people mayb not necessarily listen to her anymore. REGARDLESS, i think her songs and lyrics still emote and speak of a common language people can relate to...which is more important

[TITANIC]

hopefully YUI wont outsell Ayu. her single sold 109K now with sales 1,100 or something

[Ayu_Ready]

Ayu makes good job ! The last pics show that ><

[AngelSenshi]

I have really high hopes of it selling 120,000, but with the box set being released and it being quite expensive, I wonder if people would go on to continue to buy You were.../BALLAD. Hopefully it'll stick around on the charts a little longer; it deserves it =]

[aura~]

^well.. not everyone is going to buy teh box.. and in japan it's still no available to preorder... plus, those who will buy the box are teh onew who bought Yw/B the first day/week ^^ now just casual listeners or people who couldn't buy it before are buying teh single now...

Yeah, that's true. I'm really hoping the sales for it go up a little, but I'm really rooting for the sales of the new album to do better than they have recently. Don't get me wrong, the sales haven't been that terrible.

I still think You were.../BALLAD deserves to go a little further. It would be so unfortunate if it ends just before 120,000

[love in music]

nice nice! 120k is possible!

me tooo -_____- I hope the new album would do better on charts... but I'm happy if it does like NEXT LEVEL...

and I'm seeing the terrible 119,899 thing XDD

[adantatu2]

^Oh no, i hope she can sells 300 000 copies in the first week, but i don't know maybe the sales are lower than NEXT LEVEL

[QUOTE=walking.proud;2266718]^well.. not everyone is going to buy teh box./QUOTE]

I'm quite sure most people will buy the box xD It's limited edition people love that.


------------------------------------------------

I wish it'll sell at least 300k on the first week.

[truehappiness]

Actually, a lot of people seem to be buying the CD+DVD.

The price on Amazon for the CD+DVD is about 3200yen and the price for the CD only is 3100yen. Obviously, people will pay 100yen more for something that has a DVD, haha. I don't really know how many the box sold, but it must've been a LOT to stay in the top 5 even after completely selling out.

(#17 on Amazon.jp as opposed to #870)

[Cherry Dynamite]

And probably friends of TA members are telling their friends that the PV will probably be good. LOL

Last week:
*8 *,116,111 ***,627 You were.../BALLAD / 浜崎あゆみ 09/12/29

SALES WENT UP 12 copies! I bet Mao helped, haha. Anyways, she's #10 on yearlies right now. #100 this week sold 834 copies.

Weekly position should be up in a few days.

Yearly ranking:
11 *,117,292 ***,542 You were.../BALLAD / 浜崎あゆみ 09/12/29
12 *,110,011 ***,966 GLORIA / YUI 10/01/20
13 *,105,302 **2,004 BLESS / L'Arc～en～Ciel 10/01/27

YUI is closing in, but... I don't know.

Sales went down 97 copies, but that's still pretty good. Weekly ranking is #133, down 12 positions from last week's #121.

Well Sunrise charted for 11 weeks, hopefully You were.../BALLAD will be able to hang in there for another 2-3 weeks.

well, I meant that as the box is limited not everyone will be able to buy it ^^ now it's sold out everywhere for pre-order!! those fans that are buying the box or CD+DVD, now, are probably the ones that buy Yw/B the first weeks... that's why I don't see the album announcement affecting the single too much...

And looking at TH post, seems like so ^^ Maybe next week will drop more??

I seee Yw/B ending with 118K... I hope YUI won't pass it... it should seel almost 8K..

[KarenPang]

nah I don't think GLORIA will overtake You were ... / BALLAD

GLORIA didn't had any tie in or so to pull in sales (I could be wrong though) as compared to her comeback single again which was used to promote the fullmetal anime

It's all too much / Never say die's tie in's were decent as they served as promo songs for Kaiji the movie (which will open tomorrow here )

then again , YUI's singles sales have been around 100K + or so

97 copies isn't a lot to be down by; she's still going steady!

[TITANIC]

I am hopping for 15 weeks...

[ayumisrael]

Thank you truehappiness!

It seems that it dies slowly rather than fast. Maybe it call fall in just 10-15 positions in a week. XD
