Oricon Roundup 8/12: ALL STAR Chart

ORICON ROUNDUP: Southern All Stars and Amuro Namie dominate this week as they both post huge numbers to take the top spots on the Single and Album charts.

I AM YOUR SINGER is Southern All Stars' 30th Anniversary track and after 30 years they are still going strong, walloping the singles' chart with 357K sales. Their first single since 2006 triumphed to the top propelling Southern All Stars to the record for most top 10 singles, with 43 chart toppers.
Last week's no.1 GIFT stayed strong, dropping only one spot to no.2 while Gake no Ue no Ponyo stayed put at 3rd, propelling its sales over 100K. Aladdin drops 2 places to 4th, while ARASHI's One Love pops back into the top 10 in its 7th week.

New entries fill the rest of the top 10 with alice nine., DMC, Nakagawa Shouka, BONNIE PINK & THE Possible posting sales above 11K.
THE Possible's sales are perhaps the most impressive, the group posting their 2nd top 10 single in a row with ever increasing sales. Ijiwaru Crazy Love sold 11.6K this week, an increase of 3K over their last top 10 single, Kazoku e no Tegami. The strong first week sales means that this single is their current best selling single. Congratulations to the girls for a truly deserving feat!
In other good news, C-ute has had their 2nd best selling week ever with Edo no Temari Uta II selling 6.5K to put them in 19th spot this week. The sales push the Edo inspired track to 34K total sales and C-ute's 2nd best selling single.

On the album charts Amuro Namie continues to dominate, selling 257K of her BEST FICTION compilation. The gargantuan sales push her ever closer to the 1 million mark which she should pass this week.
EXILE's best album sticks in the top 5 at no.3 while former top 5ers GReeeeN, Kimaguren & the Koi no Uta compilation fall out. Crystal Kay's Color Change! charts at a disappointing 8th selling only 15K, down 35K from her last studio album's (All Yours, 2007) debut sales.
