Utaban's a 2 hour program right?? it's just before HnA

Utaban is usually a 1-hour show. The 2-hr ones are Tokuban or special shows.

H,, how many did One Love sell in the first week? It doesn't seem to be doing as hot as One Love despite having higher first day.

One Love: Day 1 = 74,610 ; Day 2 = 46,713 ; Day 3 = 17,831 ; Day 4 = 9,889 ; Day 5 = 12,986 ; Day 6 = 11,332 ; Day 7 = 4,546
Total (sales 1st week) = 313,976
Source Wiki :victory:
I love Beautiful days more than One Love but OL got its Domyouji and Makino (they also re-issued a special version), not sure Ariake siblings have that much followers though. There's still 2 more days. BD can still surpass OL first week sales.

Yeah, I remember One Love has that Special Version help. It wasn't even supposed to outsell Kiseki at that time.

today index sales = 13,048
Total sales (until day 6?) = 330,750

:mrgreen: BD doing pretty well. It has surpassed OL and S&G (324,223) 1st week sales.

sorry :sweat:, my update not as complete as Hikaru-san. The weekly total hasn't been finalized yet so there still a day to count.

Will "Beautiful days" be counted in 2008 ranking or will it be moved into the 2009 list?

Beautiful Days sales update

x->1->1->1->1->1->1 - Arashi - 83,052 + 49,068 + 20,647 + 11,780 + 11,405 + 13,048 (x1.75) = 330,750


If I'm not mistaken, the first week is over~ I only managed to save Step and Go's first week daily sales and it also has 6 days' figures:

x->1->1->1->1->1->1 - Arashi - 107,689 + 39,384 + 14,042 + 8,142 + 8,636 + 7,384 (x1.75) = 324,235 (Oricon reported 324,223 copies sold)

Tomorrow we should be getting the official Oricon numbers ^^

It will still be in Oricon 2008. I think Oricon 2009 will start by the 2nd week of December, and it's probable that KAT-TUN's new single will lead the new chart.

It looks like BD will be able to surpass S&G before Oricon year ends and get into the Top10, but most possibly won't be enough to be in the Top5.

Which also means that Arashi won't have all 4 singles in the Top10, considering that S&G will definitely be pushed down in 2 weeks.

Is it because Kattun hasn't had a single out for a long while or because they have multiple versions with extra postcards of them prancing around in Santa suits? :beaten: Kattun always sells well (even without the santa suits) so its very likely ne~

Its now confirmed BD is the top of the week with total sales 352,000 copies :mrgreen:

Its ok if all of it won't make it to top 10. I think all of Arashi (us 6th member included :P) is happy enough with this year sales. How about top 20? :bonk:

It's a Limited Edition this time (no Regular), and already out of print, but I don't know how 'limited' the single is.

Well I think S&G will likely to end at no.12 or 13 for Oricon 2008.

The multiplier for BD is about 1.85? this time?

So the multiplier changed according to the artiste popularity??
Maybe they added today sales...

gee.. some lucky marketing student might be able to come out a kick ass study for Arashi sales with all the infos gathered...

The multiplier changes with how many 40% of the stores registered with Oricon sell because these stores only report their sales by end of the week, not daily. It's most likely that stores in smaller towns are selling more BD single than their previous singles. This actually happens to Kanjani8 too, they also have the multiplier of 1.85.

Thanks for that link!

That Oricon article also says Arashi also managed to top the singles charts with their four singles released this year, the last time a Johnny's band accomplished that was 9 nine years ago (1999) with Kinki Kids' Happy Happy Greeting/Cinderella Christmas, Yamenaide Pure/BABY LOVE, Flower and Ame no Melody/to Heart ^^

Yeah, I'm glad for this. DBSK fans have been boasting when the group hit 4 no.1 singles last time.
