ORICON ROUNDUP: It's like alphabet soup on the charts this week as V6 tops the singles chart while B'z The Best “ULTRA Treasure” topples Hamasaki's A COMPLETE from the top of the album charts~ >.<
V6's LIGHT IN YOUR HEART/SWING! sold a pretty reasonable 81K, pretty much on par with their last single's debut sales (Chou with 80K), marking their 21st #1 single of their career - a nice achievement for a group who has only had 35 singles.
Last week's no.1 HANABI was quite a way behind selling 48K to come in at 2nd place while new releases from Angela Aki and Nightmare also placed in the top 5. Gake no Ue no Ponyo climbed up to no.5 - once again refusing to die.
ARASHI managed to keep a high position in the top 10 at 6th on their 5th week in the charts while GLAY dropped from 2nd position last week, to 7th. New releases from Lil'B, Tamio Okuda and Kazuyoshi Saito rounded out the top 10.

In album sales, Bz's newie lived up to expectations selling a whopping 413K to steal the no.1 spot from Hamasaki Ayumi. ULTRA Treasure is their 23rd no.1 album, making them the top artist in Japanese chart history for #1 albums. This is their second BEST album of the year, their first ULTRA Pleasure is the current 6th highest selling of the year.
Hamasaki's A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ had good sales of 119K, despite being bumped from the top, to bring her total sales to 658K. Ne-Yo (USA) dropped to no.3 while Amuro Namie continues to sell well at 4th (27K) and Metallica (USA) fell from 3rd to 5th.
Berryz Koubou struggled on the charts this week with their new (special) single Genghis Khan Tarutaru Mix failing to make waves, selling only 2.8K and charting at 35th. Their album also failed to rank well, dropping outside the top 50 (from 11th) with sales of just 1.8K.

It's amazing BK's remix would make a chart at all since it's the same song as released earlier. Hmm.
I'm not at all surprised it made the chart. The dedicated fans will buy anything to support the girls. I actually thought it could reach 5K with the dedicated fan base but I guess not, prob because as you said, it's a remix of an earlier single.
