Glad to see Ayu getting number 1... hope she can hold out for the week.

Comparison - GUILTY's sales:
1st Day - 66,796
2nd Day - 41,235
3rd Day - 31,264

NEXT LEVEL's first day sales has beaten GUILTY's first day sales by 33,000 copies. Hope the rest of the week will continue to have sales higher than GUILTY's.

If NL is able to have consistent sales figure like GREEN/Days and rule/sparkle, it will be able to surpass Secret's total sales!

PEARL · #**145** 25th March 2009, 01:52 PM

i don't think th usb sales would be counted in..

I'm not a TOHOSHINKI fan , I don't listen to their music but don't you think to hate them just because they might take the #1 spot from ayumi is lame ?

if you have a reason to hate them , it should be a valid one , not based on baseless statements like the one you made

it's not the end of the world should NEXT LEVEL is denied the top spot even though I really am hoping it will nail it

===

I find it odd that Oricon didn't count the thumbdrive sales & they supposedly are going to do that tomorrow , like what's the point ? can't they do it today ?

waterballoon · #**147** 25th March 2009, 01:54 PM

99k is not bad. But Tohoshinki is definitely freaking me out lol, but since USB sales would be calculated tomorrow, the sales for 2nd day but still be 80-90k or even rise.

I'm not that worried yet, just glad first day sales outsold GUILTY.

babamon · #**148** 25th March 2009, 02:07 PM

But the first press USB ver only has 10k of it right? Limited amount if i'm not wrong when it was first announced. Only encore ver are to be distributed in April. Perhaps the drop tml won't be that great, but 10k of it probably will not add that much sales to it XD

I think they recognised sales only when the USB had been distributed to those who ordered, cos it's when sales is 100% confirmed.

kirei_ayumi · #**149** 25th March 2009, 02:14 PM

what?! usbs have not been counted yet?!
sales seem to be doing pretty good..I hope the coming days are better!

Ayu_Ready · #**150** 25th March 2009, 02:27 PM

usb are not in 99000 album?? It's great so =O

Whenever she is the best once again

Long live to Ayu and hope NEXT LEVEL will have a very very good ranking >0<

Whoa!

I didn't know you weren't a Tohoshinki fan! Even I'm a fan of them lmao! They're probably the only boy band I like actually.

Anyway, without the USBs factored in, it doesn't make the sales seem as bad. I mean they cut out a whole other version of the album... Not to mention the thousands of orders that probably poured in for the encore. If all of those were factored into today's sales, she could easily have 150K or more.

you mean you're surprised over it ?

. Well I like Lovin you but other than that I don't listen to that much of their stuff . Some are quite cool whenever I tune into MTV China , they will play Bolero & all

but other than that I'm not that inclined with their material

yeah it's just weird in the way Oricon does things sometimes

polka-dot-jewel · #**153** 25th March 2009, 02:48 PM

Wow, Tohoshinki's really close!! True, they're about 11K behind Ayu, but still, DCT is #3 with only 20K+ copies, so really the only competition Ayu has IS Tohoshinki.

I'm honestly not TOO surprised the USB's weren't counted, and I doubt the second press versions will be counted towards the final total. Some people could cancel their order before the USB's are shipped, and I bet Oricon's thinking about that before putting in their final number.

But this is a good first day sales!! Can't wait to see the rest of the week's totals

Tony G · #**154** 25th March 2009, 02:53 PM

We'll know by tomorrow whether they're still a threat... first day doesn't say much because that's when CDs sell their highest.

anzures2 · #**155** 25th March 2009, 02:53 PM

the worst sales for an Ayu's album

sad to say that!

i hope tomorrow the sales get better!
(espero que mañana suban!!! ^^)

babamon · #**157** 25th March 2009, 03:01 PM

^Not really, GUILTY first day was worse. And we can't judge how the album is doing now since we don't know how the next few days will fare. It depends on its longevity and how much is it gonna drop in the coming days.

If sales aren't high but longevity is good, the album can still do fairly well.

lfe. · #**158** 25th March 2009, 03:17 PM

Wow I was expecting much higher for a first day. Quite a letdown

Atleast it was higher than GUILTY's first days. Does anyone know what A COMPLETE's first day sales were?

Ayu_no_tenshi · #**159** 25th March 2009, 03:50 PM

wow...
worst than i thought for 1st day ranking
that sux
i hope the other days go great and ayu keeps #1

inspire_rmx · #**160** 25th March 2009, 03:59 PM

I realli hope that she will be able to get the weekly No.1 since GUILTY didn't. On the bright side, it outsold GUILTY's first day by 33k, which is really good. i hope NEXT LEVEL will sell more than GUILTY in the end ^^
glad that dbsk is doing great on the chart too.
