sakanaction's self-titled 6th album has clinched the top spot on Oricon Weekly Charts for the first time since the band started! For the week of 11 March to 17 March, it has taken first place for album sales.
Congratulations to sakanaction! This is their best selling release to date, and also their highest ranking, breaking the record of 2011's DocumentaLy which got a 2nd place ranking. It's also a whopping increase of 78% in sales as compared to DocumentaLy, no doubt helped along by better exposure and more tie-ups this time round. Also, there wasn't very strong competition for the week.
By the way, single-wise, Aruku Around still remains their highest ranking single with a 3rd place ranking in weekly charts.
