If Manatsu no Sounds Good! will continue selling at this pace, exceeding the pace of all previous singles of AKB48, this single will break the AKB48’s own record of the most selling single for the first-week sales.

Reference: The ranking of the most selling single for the first-week sales in the history of Japanese music scene.

1. 1.354M ・・・AKB48 Flying Get

2. 1.334M ・・・AKB48 Everyday Cachucha

3. 1.330M ・・・AKB48 Manatsu no Sounds Good! (for the first 2days sales)

4. 1.300M ・・・AKB48 Kaze ha Fuiteiru

5. 1.287M ・・・AKB48 GIVE ME FIVE!

6. 1.208M ・・・Mr. Children Namonaki Uta

7. 1.119M ・・・AKB48 Uekara Mariko

But the extraordinary run of the record breaker, AKB48, may not end with this. The single may have a huge chance to set another big record.

Honor of “The all-time most selling single by a female groups” is currently crowned to White Love by Speed, which has sold 1.845 million. Maybe it’s difficult to break this even though this is an election single…..?

But actually the biggest surprise in today’s (23th May) Oricon chart is…. brought by Oideyo Shampoo by Nogizaka46, which still ranked in 2nd 3 weeks after its release!!
