[KeoLegend]

My J-Queens AKB48 slaying once again

[Thay]

It's impossible to compete with AKB48 

They sure love groups with numbers in their names 

[Owatari]

[ariel]

[kathp]

Arashi getting that no. 1 effortlessly. I'm glad Eito managed the third above Kisumai lololol.

[KissontheW1nD]

Where is "best pop album that crush your fave" from 2never1??? I heard, that was great album, or maybe Iam wrong.

[palechibi]

yas faves toho & akb

[reis]

SNSD lower only because they do least gimmick

[evil4life]

Arashi ($13,823,000,000)

AKB48 ($13,075,000,000)

 

i'm actually surprised about this

 

as usual its AKB vs AKB vs Arashi for the Top 10 with the rest of the 48 girls and Johnny groups fighting for the rest of the spots, with EXIE TRIBE nudging themselves in between.

 

this is also the 1st time AKB48 has managed to snatch both the no.1 album and single spots.

 

they didnt release the full top 100?

Not yet - just the Top 50 were published with the feature itself.  I expect that in the next few days (and hopefully the Top 1000s towards the end of the month).

rereleasing your album 602,945 times is not a gimmick? 

[Owatari]

Usually the album chart is interesting to me and there's a few releases I really liked, but this year idk.

The DVD and Blu-Ray charts are actually the interesting thing to me this time around.

 

But yay BUMP and RAD
