Oricon Roundup 11/04: PG serves up an ACE

ORICON ROUNDUP

Porno Graffitti ruled the Album Charts this week with their joint release BEST ACE and BEST JOKER scoring sales of over 100K each to take the top 2 positions. Coming off their single Love, Too Death, Too, which placed no.2 on the Oricon Charts, the album is their first no.1 album since 2005's THUMP x.
Last week's no.1 WE LOVE HEXAGON, fell to no.4 but still managed sales over 50K. The album fell down on the daily charts due to the new releases, but saw itself reclaim the top spot over the weekend and going into its 3rd week on the charts.

Kanjani8 unsurprisingly hit the top of the Singles Chart for their 5th consecutive no.1 single. What might be a surprise is the huge sales of 347K, up over 150K from their last single Wahaha's debut sales. Musekinin Hero's incredible sales just firmly cements Kanjani8's growing popularity in the Japanese single's market.
Hey! Say! JUMP drops to 7th spot from last week's no.1, with sales of 23K, pretty much on par with their previous singles' 2nd weeks.

MilkyWay's TanTanTaan had a bit of a disappointing debut, only managing to sell 16.6K and charting at no.8 on the Singles Chart. This is down 11K from their debut Anataboshi however it is up 4K from Koharu Kusumi's Papancake's dismal sales.
