Congrats to Ayu!!! She could definitely have reached Yuming's record if everything went well last year. but i guess this makes A CLASSICAL's #1 all the more special.

What i saw on Facebook was that:

for ORICON:
1. This is the SECOND Classical album to reach the #1 position
2. The FIRST Classical album to reach #1 position on the week it was released

Looking at the thread again, it says BOOKOFF and 125yen. Maybe they made a mistake since another person said they only found one LOVE CD only for 1250yen, so it's likely that whoever marked it made a mistake or it was misread, haha.

It was a compilation album of classical music used in various TV programs and movies called 'image'.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_(...83%90%E3%83%A0)
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%A4%E3.../dp/B000051TAX

It sold 1.45 million overall and is still selling today. Ayu's accomplishment however is that she's the first artist to have an individual classical album become #1... or something like that.

Am I the only person who thinks it's weird that in a country of 130,000,000 people, a cd can be number 1 even if only 25,049 people buy it?

Most people aren't music purchasers and if they do they probably use illegal means or legal digital means.

Yeah, I know. It just means that nobody really buys CDs anymore. I just feel it renders the whole chart pretty meaningless.

Anyway, good for Ayu to reach #1 again while the chart still exists

Japan's best selling album sold 7 million... "only" 5% of the population bought it... It's not like most of the population ever bought music.

^ Japan's population is about 127 million, decreasing every year
By 2100 it will be about 50 million.

Anyway. Such a small number but I'm still glad ayu did it! A great way to start off the year!
