[Charts & Rankings] The 6th Oricon Thread of NEXT LEVEL ~Final Spark~

[TITANIC]

Tal, 26th week position was #287

[ayumisrael]

Thank you, I have updated it. ^^

[chloeM]

thanks for the information~

[waterballoon]

It's still charting, HAHA.

[zyoeru]

It amazes me, has it out charted Duty yet?

[Andrenekoi]

if it charts this week again, it will

[noidea]

if you stop at the same position charts stopped some years ago... Duty was in charts for way longer. When Duty was released, the ranking only was 1-100, now its 1-300, so you can't compare it, because actually Duty was in the top 300 for a way longer time than NEXT LEVEL, likely over a year, we just did not SEE it in the charts, because the lists were not released. Too see which album outcharted the other one, we have to look at how long they stayed in the top 100

[zyoeru]

^ That's actually a good point, but if we're counting how long an album stayed in VISIBLE charts.

[noidea]

but if you are counting in visible charts the result you get means nothing, because if an album stayed in the top 300 a week longer than another album stayed in the top 100 that doesnt mean anything

lol. He is totally right though. I didn't realize Oricon only used to show the Top 100. So yeah, in that case you can't compare their chart runs at all.

[waterballoon]

oh man lol... that sucks, but at least it has outrun her albums which had Oricon Top 300. Which year did that start btw?

[hikaricore]

^2003, if I'm not mistaken.
Still, I think we need to start looking at Ayu's successes now (in the last year or two) as not only sales, but chart life.
Overall sales are down, and so is chart life...it's nice to see that her sales are still true to standard.

I know he is right xD
But still, Next Level is having a good chart life

[ayumisrael]

Well NEXT LEVEL still have a better chart life than Secret and GUILTY so it's great. XD

[Yumsushi]

#287!? I hope the up coming 4 shows keep the album selling for the month of October.

[Crystal_Ageha]

Aaaaaa, getting close to the edge! D: But I've been happy with the sales and chart life for a month now, so it won't be the end of the world if it finally falls off... Just wish it would make it to 380. >.<

And HA! Duty still rules all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAH!~

[freedreamer]

well yea i agree abt not being able to compare. But over time, we do see the falling in CD sales and its even harder to sustain the chart life of an album. So whether or not NEXT LEVEL beats it, to even reach the visible chartlife of Duty is really very good already...considering its a original studio album..
