Oricon Roundup 7/29: EXILE is BEST

ORICON ROUNDUP: Avex's EXILE has totally obliterated the album charts selling 400K of their EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST album to rocket to #1. This is their 10th no.1 album, with only their debut album not reaching the top of the charts, and their second BEST album this year, with their third EXILE BALLAD BEST to be released in December.

GReeeeN's A, Domo. Ohisashiburi Desu sold another 40K this week to place 2nd and bring their total sales closer to the 650K mark, while last week's no.1 ZUSHI dropped to 3rd selling 33K. Koi no Uta continues to sell, the love song compilation charting at no.4 on their 3rd week, while Ayaka's Sing to the Sky is no.6 on its 6th week.

On the singles' chart, Hey! Say! JUMP scores a predictable 3rd #1 single, though their sales seem to be slowly declining, selling 20K less than their previous single. 160K is nothing to scoff at and they easily took the top spot. Aiko's new single KissHug is at no.2 selling 75K and FUNKY MONKEY BABYS are in 4th spot.

My single of the week, Hayashibara Megumi's Plenty of grit / Revolution charted at a delightfully surprising 6th with 15K sales, better than expected. Last week's top single Tohoshinki's Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou? dropped out of the top 10 to no.18, while GReeeeN's Kiseki returned to the top 10 in its 9th week.
