ARASHI DOMINATES TOP 4 SPOTS FOR FIRST WEEK SINGLES SALES!!!!

The five-member group Arashi debuted at the top of single rankings for the week of November 23rd with their new song "My Girl". Following their own "Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon ~kimi wa muteki~" (with a first week sales of 502,487 copies, released this May) and "Believe/Kumorinochi, Kaisei" (with a first week sales of 501,988 copies, released this March), they recorded the third highest first week sales of 2009 with sales of 430,000 copies after one week since its release. In addition to this, combined with the fourth highest first week sales for the single "Everything" (released this July) at 342,000 copies, the top four spots of 2009's first week singles sales are all being monopolized by Arashi at this point in time.

Furthermore, this is Arashi's 24th time to capture the the top spot for singles sales, and also their 17th consecutive since "PIKANCHI DOUBLE", released in February of 2004. Even Arashi's "5x10 All the BEST! CLIPS 1999-2009" DVD released on October 28th has recorded sales of over 500,000 copies in two weeks in a thorough display of their popularity. With the year's end, future record-breaking and more, their sales trends are currently drawing much attention.

Regarding this piece of work, not only is it the theme song of fellow member Aiba Masaki's first featured drama, "My Girl" (TV Asahi) which began airing on October 9th, it also includes the coupling track "Tokei Jikake no Umbrella", the theme song to drama "0 Goushitsu no Kyaku" (Fuji TV) which started on the 23rd of the same month.

Isn't that amazing?!They released 4 singles this year,and ALL THE 4 singles are in the top 4 spots for first week!It's so WOW!Apparently,the ranking goes like this:
1)Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon
2)Belive/Kumorinochi Kaisei
3)My Girl
4)Everything

Then yearly charts(not confirmed):
1)Believe/Kumorinochi Kaisei
2)Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon
3)Akiyama Junko - Ai no Mama de

Should be like this.Who knows will the charts ranking change?Somemore Yamapi and Jin is going to release their singles tomorrow.And I have to say,the both of them does have a greater advantage in certain ways when compares with Arashi.Yamapi's 'Loveless' has 3 covers(?),and I've heard that Jin's single is selling at a cheaper price(?).You'll never know,Pi and Jin is very famous in Japan right now.I mean,I LOVE PI too!And 'Loveless' is awesome!But I really hope the rankings stay like this(I'm saying this because I'm biased towards Arashi now :x).Furthermore,IT'S THEIR 10TH YEAR!It's to show that their efforts for 10 years have paid off!AND 'MY GIRL' IS AWESOME!I've read that 'My Girl' needs another 55k copies to dominate the top 3 positions of yearly charts.It doesn't seem impossible to me(really,since they've proved to us their popularity with all the 'WOW' numbers).It would really be E-P-I-C if they get all top 3 places,ne?Haha.All the best yo!~
And of course all the best to Pi and Jin for the release tomorrow!^^
