Singer/Songwriter YUI took the top spot on the album charts this week with, her b-side collection, MY SHORT STORIES. The album, which sold 173K, is her 3rd no.1 album coming off I LOVED YESTERDAY's success earlier this year. YUI was unchallenged at the top of the charts, holding the no.1 spot on the daily ranks all week.
Kato Miliyah's BEST DESTINY dropped only 1 place to no.2 this week, selling 55K, bringing her total sales to just under 150K.

The singles chart was much more competitive this week, with DREAMS COME TRUE, the GazettE and ARASHI all holding daily no.1 rankings, but it was DREAMS COME TRUE who nudged their way into the top spot. Tsurette Tsurette sold 46K, 5K more than the GazettE and SPEED who sat in 2nd and 3rd positions.
ARASHI charted at 4th this week with Beautiful days selling just under 36K.

Two H!P artists managed to make the top 10 this week. Satoda Mai's Mou Sugu Christmas (with Gouda Kyodai) was 7th with a little under 26K while Buono!'s Lotta Love Lotta Love charted one place lower at 8th. Buono!'s sale numbers of 22K continue the trend of declining H!P single sales in recent times. Morning Musume, Berryz and now Buono! have seen their latest singles sell lower than the previous.
Berryz Koubou meanwhile dropped to 50th in their second week with sales of 2K.

173k, SHEESH... for a best album, that's pretty impressive, isn't it?

Mars, just as a sidenote... if you get a chance, I sent an e-mail to the address you signed up to Int'l Wota with. Not sure if you've seen it yet, but if you don't mind sending me a reply in the next day or two, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! :)
