10　**9,203　*58,473　SoulJa - Koko ni Iru yo feat. Thelma Aoyama

 

It comes as no surprise that boyband Kanjani8 get to number one this week, outselling runner up Ryu Siwon by an awfully large amount. their first two days particularly had huge sales. ºC-ute were one Hello! Project kids, but when some were selected to join band berryz Kobo, the rest formed their own. their new single is surprising for H!P release, as it managed to increase it's sales on some days. This is the bands highest first week sales. B'z get another week in the top 10, and Laruku have a sharp second week drop.

The sales figures this week are far from outstanding, and new entries are few and far inbetween. #1 is headed by Tackey & Tsubasa, who I honestly expected to sell better. Abingdon Boys School only reach #2 with their debut album [which i personally love.] YUKI has yet another week in the top 5 with her 'Single Collection -five star-' VOCALIST 3 continues to sell well, as does LOVE PiECE by popular artist Ai Otsuka.
