Oricon Roundup 8/19: Million$ BABY

ORICON ROUNDUP: Amuro Namie stayed at the top of the charts this week for her third consecutive week, surpassing the million dollar milestone for the 5th time in her career. Her last million dollar seller was back in 1998 with 181920 and BEST FICTION has definitely brought her back to the top. It's been a long haul but she got back there. Congratulations Namie-sama!

Tokunaga Hideaki's new set of BEST albums sold well, SINGLES BEST charting at no.2 with 87K while SINGLES B-side BEST was just outside the top 10 at no.11. Continuing the BEST theme: EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST is at no.4, Saitou Kazuyoshi's "Uta Utai 15" SINGLES BEST 1993~2007 is at no.6 and THE BEST OF DETECTIVE CONAN 3 is at no.9. *phew* lots of BESTs.

Recent regulars GReeeeN, Kusou and Koi no Uta stuck around in the top 10 while Kimaguren's ZUSHI falls out.

On the Singles Chart SMAP takes the top spot (surprise, surprise) with 90K sales. Kono Toki, Kitto Yume ja Nai is their 10th consecutive no.1 seller. Last week's no.1 Southern All Stars continues strong at no.2 with 77K while Gake no Ue no Ponyo sticks at 3rd. Quiz Hexagon's Aladdin is at no.5, Mr Children at no.6 and ARASHI is at no.9 in their 9th week on the chart.
New releases from FLOW, Spontania feat. JUJU, Tanimura Nana and GARNET CROW filled out the rest of the top 10 with alan's Sora no Uta at no.34. Poor alan continues to sell dismally despite a ton of money being thrown her way. Oh well.

Fujimoto Miki's Okitegami returns to the top 100 in her 17th week selling 1,018 cds. Long live sales events! C-ute's Edo no Temari Uta II ranks at no.90 in its 3rd week selling 5 less copies than Miki-sama, bringing their total sales past the 35K mark, while THE Possible's Ijiwaru Crazy Love falls out of the top 100 with only 554 copies sold.
