According to the Oricon Chart, MYNAME’s ‘I.M.G –Without You’, which was released on March 10, recorded 34,879 album sales and ranked first on the Oricon Album Daily Chart.

The album also placed first on the Daily Album Chart of Tower Records Shibuya store and the group proved its tremendous popularity in Japan.

MYNAME said, “When we heard the news, we were so happy. Since we’ve done activities in Japan consistently, we made a great result. As we released an album in Korea as well, we will keep doing our best.”

Meanwhile, MYNAME flew over to Japan for its promotion and the group will continue its activities in Korea a week later.

Looking at Oricon, they're the only artists who released in March 10, so it's not shocking that they got the number 1 spot for that day. They simply had no competition. http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2015-03-10/

For their second day (normal release date), however, says a different thing.

like celyn_jo said, they released it they day before all other albums release. It means it was the slowest day of the week (being the last day of the 1st charting week of the releases that were out that previous week).
Imho doesn't really deserve to be called "tops oricon daily on the day of the release" because lol, but I guess the company is willing to stoop this low.

(also wow the gimmicks and selling less than 4000 on the 2nd day)

It was number 1 on its day of release because they avoided competition from other artists. Almost all artists release their singles and albums on Wednesdays, but they released theirs before everyone else. As for the other artists who released the previous week, of course, it's understandable that they'll have low sales by the end of the charting week.

I guess this would not have been an "issue" if they released their album normally. This kind of media play is honestly annoying especially if you consider their timing.

As for their actual sales, then good for them. I won't talk of gimmicks because some J-Pop idols use these as well (music cards, handshake tickets and concert tickets packaged in CDs, etc)

I'm glad they're at least doing well in Japan. This group is seriously SO underrated.
