Girls’ Generation’s latest Japanese single, “Oh!”, earned first place on Oricon’s “10/8 Single Weekly Ranking” chart, selling 66,000 copies since its release on September 26th. In addition, the DVD and Blu-Ray for “Girls’ Generation Complete Video Collection” reached number one on the “Oricon Weekly DVD” and “Oricon Weekly Blu-Ray” charts, with 40,000 DVDs and 19,000 Blu-Ray discs sold.
This is the first time Girls’ Generation earned first place rankings on the single and Blu-Ray charts since their Japanese debut in September 2010. They are the first female artist or group to reach number one on all three charts — Oricon’s Weekly Single, DVD, and Blu-Ray Rankings — in the same week. The only other group to accomplish this same feat was Mr. Children, a Japanese pop rock band formed in 1988. Girls’ Generation was able to achieve this feat even though they are a foreign music group in the Japanese market, making this an even greater accomplishment.

Date: 2012-10-02 02:54 am (UTC)I think releasing the video collection the same day was not the best idea sales wise.

Date: 2012-10-02 03:23 am (UTC)Mr Taxi had their biggest first week sales despite being the last single before their album and coming out a month before the album.

Date: 2012-10-02 01:52 pm (UTC)Or I should say the video is doing very well digitally. The songs are doing ok, both in the top 20. (Oh is top 10, but not top 5; AMLFY is lower, but its been out longer too)
I understand the desire to "defend" snsd (since, despite what everyone thinks 66K is no number to be ashamed of and people are going to come in purpose to say that), but please use/learn the right facts.

Date: 2012-10-02 03:27 am (UTC)the general public isn't gonna buy or care about that overpriced video collection, they would obviously go for the single instead.
