cool, thanks for the stats

[007_kenshin]

Hmmm....
Alright
Thanks
Arigatou Gozaimashita!

Hopefully Carols will be super amazing (or she'll have one more single that is) and it'll push her into the top 10 for something. It's going to be hard trying to beat such seasoned artists as SMAP, SAS, and Mr. Children though....

Yes, Hikki is Number 11 ... WOW

She made it with just a 2 Song Single :-)

[..:DisarO:..]

SMAP still selling! That song isn't that good x_x

[Coelacanth]

Thanks for the info!

INSPIRE will probably get a little higher in the upcoming weeks...

[tetsuo69]

if only carols would sell 900,000 lol

[Hye Cheon]

Wow, I remember when "Sekai ni Hitotsu dake no Hana" came out, and it was selling like crazy. So I had to hear it, and when I did... well, I like the song, but I don't know if it's that ridiculously great. And I haven't heard Hikki's song yet, but I've heard mixed things about it. I'm surprised people are buying the single so intensely with only 2 tracks.

I guess having a big name in both cases really helps.

The music was good, but the lyrics was fantastic

Seikai ni hitotsu dake no hana
'One of a kind flower'
A Heartfelt song

There we go

Larukus has more salews because it was released in the beginning of the year lol give some more time until INSPIRE beats it in the charts lol

[_CREA_]

I just don't see how Orange Range, of all groups, is 5th. I'm sorry if anyone here likes them, but I really really don't like them. Ayu should be way above them.

Hopefully CAROLS will be huge and Ayu can get farther up there...either that or a random surge in the sales of Moments or INSPIRE.

[tl1029530921]

wow....sakurando..-_-"..and jupiter....very wow.

[TeamAyu]

I think the reason 'READY STEADY GO!' is really high is because it was Laraku's first single after a 3 yr *I believe* hiatus and it was tied to the very popular 'Full Metal Alchemist'. Hmm 'INSPIRE' can still continue to climb! The one that really surprised me was Kou Shibasaki's 'Katachi Arumono' it's not that great of a single and it's really boring ^^;; and it was released latter than 'INSPIRE' too... I do like the song though just not as much as 'INSPIRE', guess her tie-in with Doramas is really helping in sales.

[Findlay]

Out of those 20, Hirahara Ayaka's "Jupiter", Mr.Children's "tenohira / kurumi", and Kawaguchi Kyoko's "sakura", these three singles truly deserve the high sales. I'm surprised "Sign" sold more though, probably people came for the two B-sides but that single is just so-so. Hirai Ken's "hitomi wo tojite" is alright, guess that's all the noteworthy ones.

[~K+]

Jupiter deserved it.

And wow, Kou's sure if selling lot in a short period of time o_O'

SMAP, still haven't heard that song yet, but I can't believe it's selling this much, even if it's so old...

Haven't heard Ken's song yet neither...

[tl1029530921]

can someone upload jupiter..o.o?

Sorry but I only ripped it at 128kbps, not sure if this quality is good enough for you.

Even though that's not the opinion of most initiates here in AHS, "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro" was simply an amazing song and one of the best released this year in my opinion so I don't really get impressed for it selling that much.

btw ORANGE RANGE sucks!
