To commemorate the 10th anniversary since their formation, AKB48 will release an all-time best-of album (currently untitled) on November 4th.
This announcement was made on September 6th during their handshake and signing event for the theater edition of their 41st single "Halloween Night". There will be three different types of the upcoming album; Type A with 27 singles that topped Oricon's weekly ranking, Type B with two discs containing 22 million-selling singles, and Single Complete Edition with 42 songs including those from their indies era.
Not only will the album feature previously released songs, but also over 10 brand new songs. Type A, Type B, and Single Complete Edition will each include different new songs.
Best albums in Japan sell higher than regular albums
AKB albums don't sell as well as their single. It's very unrealistic to say their album is going to hit 2 million, especially in one day. Their previous album sold 771k in total, I doubt they're going to hit a million.

You know I kidding about the 2 million part, right? but I do think it'll sell very well. Plus their last album wasn't that good compare to the previous one before that.
