Big Bang is #3 on Oricon WEEKLY charts

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

Big Bang’s debut Japanese single ‘My Heaven’ released on 24th June, is up #3 on Oricon weekly chart. The song was previously reported to have gone up from #4 to #2 on the Oricon daily chart as well.

#1 on the weekly chart went to actor-turned-singer Kamaji Yoosuke and #2 went to AKB48. Big Bang being #3 on weekly chart and #2 on daily chart as an overseas artiste is a remarkable achievement.

Meanwhile, they will be releasing a new single ‘Gara Gara GO’ on 8th July.

Yes, I know I just posted that they got 2nd on Daily charts, but lol w/e, this is better. If anyone can get a screecap, it'll be better. Cos I'm on the Oricon site and I'm... not seeing it.

Thanks to rencode

Wow, they actually charted well on the weekly chart! As happy as I am for them, I wish they'd get back to making Korean music.

[amorspesfides.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm glad they got #3! hoorah!!

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

wait... what? #3? wasnt it like a big deal when dbsk could make it in the top 10?

[beautifiers.livejournal.com]

i think the big deal with dsbk is that they got a few #1s in a row and that doesn't often happen.

[vi-ii-i.livejournal.com]

yup back in the day it was

[igit012.livejournal.com]

i'm happy for big bang yet imo they are reaping the benefits of dbsk, who are the real trailblazers.
universal wouldn't be supporting them if dbsk didn't do so well
the japanese public wouldn't buy them if dbsk didn't favorably present korean artists successfully

[rencode.livejournal.com]

Hmm. But what about BoA? I thought she set the stage for Korean artist like DBSK? I really don't know, so that's why I'm asking. xD

[nicooyo.livejournal.com]

Wasn't Se7en in Japan too..?

[rencode.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he wasn't as successful there as BoA or DBSK was or has been.

[igit012.livejournal.com]

yes you are right.
i was momentarily blinded by dbsk
and overlooked BoA's ground breaking contribution.
i wonder if there was any korean before BoA who is as successful as BoA and DBSK.
i know that BoA was compared to Feye Wong in the beginning as both are non-japanese

woah. Big Bang? #3? umm. congrats? i guess they'll do pretty well huh..

[kanaala.livejournal.com]

i'd love to know how many copies they sold o.O

[fayelafee.livejournal.com]

Awesome! *3*

[thsisyoursignal.livejournal.com]

holy shit. i'm so surprised. even though i'm not feeling their japanese music, i'm glad it's being well-received there. extremely well-received. goddaamn

[lheeyah.livejournal.com]

they're #2 on the daily chart today with 1,123 copies sold and #3 on the weekly chart with 26,039 in total

[lheeyah.livejournal.com]

oops my bad they're at #3 today on the daily. yesterday was the only time they got to #2. and the weekly charts still aren't up on the oricon site but sites like 2ch should have it up already

[xperfect-lines.livejournal.com]

This makes me SO HAPPY. I'm quite glad they decided to release it when there's no new JE singles, so they can butcher the charts haha =))

[polysweet.livejournal.com]

FUCKING YES.
I'm so happy~!
I'm so proud~!

[rencode.livejournal.com]

Now THIS is a accomplishment. The daily charts don't mean a thing but this is a step in the right direction. And they beat out Arashi...pretty cool.

HERE'S THE SCREEN CAP BABY! (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i268/MomoCanGoGo/bigbangscreen.jpg)

This was the weekly charts for last week, but Arashi released their single a month earlier on the 27th of May and have been on the weekly charts every week since...
