"Music" chart performance and sales

sakanaction's latest single, Music, achieved the number 4 ranking on Oricon Weekly Charts for the week of 21 to 27 January.

The single ranked at 3rd place for most of the week, with its peak on the daily charts being 2nd place. There was no performance on television music programs this time, and the only promotion it had was being the theme song of Fuji TV's Sunday primetime drama "dinner". Its lower price tag of 500 yen this time may also have helped.

Although they did not manage to beat the chart position "Aruku Around" achieved back in 2010, "Music" managed to outsell "Yoru no Odoriko" for first week reported sales, meaning "Music" is now their best selling single. Congrats to team sakanaction!
