Japanese artist's single debuts with almost 1 million
Japanese Girl group AKB48 debuts atop the japanese singles chart selling 942479 PHYSICAL COPIES of their new release, Sakuranoki Ni Narô.

I'm not a huge fan of J-Pop, but this market is damn insane, a physical copy costs 3-4 times a digital single

Physical copies? Wow. I thought a bulk of high sales in Asia came from relatively inexpensive mobile downloads, so this must be a fairly unusual accomplishment?

Well, according to this: physical sales seem to be pretty healthy. Not huge, but the number 2 song still sold 83,000 copies. But yeah 900k is probably absolutely incredible

unlike the albums chart, which are sales, the numbers in the mediatraffic singles chart aren't; they are "points".

All they gotta do is tell their family to buy and boom, there's all of the sells.
I wish I could say that this will drop like a rock next week but it won't.
Probably 150k-300k more will be sold.
