Oricon: First Day Sales for 02/24/10:

(NEW) #1: Hey! Say! JUMP – “Hitomi no Screen” [72,849]
(NEW) #2: Tsubasa Imai – “BACKBORN” [20,788]
(NEW) #3: Kana Nishino – “Best Friend” [5,991]
(NEW) #4: Kii Kitano – “Sakura Saku”
(NEW) #5: Erina Mano – “Haru no Arashi”
(↓) #6: Hannya, Fruit Punch - "Onara Hazukashikunai"
(NEW) #7: Minori Chihara – "Yasashi Bokyaku"
(NEW) #8: Shinsengumi Rian – “Honto Ni Boku De Iin Desuka”
(↓) #9: AKB48 – “Sakura no Shiori”
(NEW)#10: CHiAKi KURiYAMA – “Ryuusei no Namida”

Of course a Johnny's single has to be first, so I won't go into depth with this week's #1 single. I am surprised though that Tsubasa Imai, from the duet Tacky & Tsubasa, had released a single! I see that Kana Nishino's single made it #3 on Oricon which I am very happy about. In addition, Erina Mano came in at #5 which I thought could have came at a higher position since it is a really good song. Then again, not much promotion was done to try to sell the single (for example, it has not been featured on music channels like M-ON, Space Shower and VMC). I do like CHiAKi KURiYAMA's single, Kii Kitano's single but not so much Minori Chihara's. I still do not understand how that AWFUL #6 song is still charting on the top ten. That song sucks, I hate music that is supposed to be funny!

Looks like AKB48 destoryed the single charts with their new single "Sakura no Shiori". Personally I am not a big fan of the song, I do like AKB48 so CONGRATS! Currently, the single has had the highest debut sales (or first day) for 2010, beating TVXQ's single "BREAK OUT!" and KAT-TUN's "Love Yourself~Kimi ga Kirai na Kimi ga Suki"! I hope they can continue getting higher sales so they can become #1 on they weekly, monthly, or even yearly charts!


On the albums chart, Tohoshinki (TVXQ) (DBSK) destroyed the album charts with their album "Best Selection 2010". Although I do not like "BEST OF" albums, I do like TVXQ so CONGRATS to them! They achieved their first #1 album on the daily charts, Lets hope that they can achieve their first #1 on the weekly charts or even monthly!

Kngdmhrts55 Top 40 Weekly Countdown (J POP & K POP) 02/05/10 (Japan Korea Top 40)

Brian Joo because the first K-POP artist to hit #1 on my chart! Congrats!Morning Musume seems to hang on with 3 videos, Nanchatte Renai is on its 37th week on my chart (Yes I am still listening to this song, LOVE IT!). After 24 weeks, AKB48 with "RIVER" finally chart off. Many songs are either not moving up as much or are dropping really quick! Mano Erina moves up from #17 to the #3 spot! I think "Haru no Arashi" is a really good song.

I uploaded this countdown a bit early because I will be busy this weekend. On Monday (feb. 8) will be going to see UTADA HIKARU LIVE!!!!! I'm sooooooooo excited, it has been my dream to go see Utada (Hikki) live. It will be in NYC which is about 40 mins from where I live and I used to live the city. On next week's countdown I might have some Hikki songs on because I have been listening to a lot of her songs starting lately. I guess I am really exicted to finally see her live!
