| According to Oricon, the theme songs of K-ON!! occupied the top 2 of the weekly single CD ranking for April 26th - May 2nd. The OP "GO! GO! MANIAC" and the ED "Listen!!" have won the top and the second, respectively. It's for the first time in Oricon's 42-year-history that a single CD of anime character wins the top in the weekly ranking. Hokago Tea Time has become the third female singer(s) who took the top 2 of the weekly single CD ranking. The previous record was made 26 years ago. The album CD of the first series "Hokago Tea Time" had won the top of the weekly album CD ranking last July. Weekly Single CD Ranking for Apr 26 - May 2 *1, 83,400 *83,400 K-ON!! OP "GO! GO!

| I dunno, I tought it was teribble at first too, but after listening to it for a few times, I find it pretty good. |
 |
| LOL In spite not everybody likes it (I've get used to it) I already knew this is going to happen (again XP) |
 |
| Who said anything about the single actually being good? This only shows how popular K-ON moe is. |
     |
| Not surprised. K-On songs always dominate the charts for a long time. Dam moe-blob fans. |
 |
| I liked the ED, but i still think the OP is annoying. |
 |
| Good job K-ON!!. =D |
| Well, who can not like the ED (even if it's below the bar set by first season's ED) but that OP well... it's "unique" I guess. And I don't think the K-ON crazed fans really care it's good or just a screeching bunch of hyper-mode fluff. They'll just buy it cause it's K-ON. |
 |
| I've gotta listen to those songs.. |
| Everything is right with the world. Hurray for K-ON!!! |
More seasons more OPs/EDs |
  |
| I'm amazed this topped the Working!! OP, which by the way is quite addicting... What's more is that both the K-ON!! OP and ED are horrible. They're unpleasant to the ears and fail structurally as songs. |
| omg, the chipmunks on Oricon..... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

Detective said: Well the bitches bitchin' bout the best bitches got bitched. K-ON!! is great. Oh and I think the OP is hot shit. Anyone who disagrees must be watching Heroman this season. I thought the OP was complete crap the first time I heard it. Now after listening to it a dozen times, I really, really like it. It's a song that grows on you. There are people that can stomach Heroman? |
 |
| Sorry for the fans... thiis is just wrong >_> Even though I love Cagayake Girls... this one not deserved called as music... Even metal growl more tolerable to pitch control than the vocal of the OP. But without the vocal, the music is great. Kill that lyric maker >_> |

They're unpleasant to the ears and fail structurally as songs. Didnt the Working OP+ED come with the DVD and thus wasn't released normally? I dunno. |
| ...and it probably has nothing to do with what the music sounds like, lol. |
Iriya said: Who said anything about the single actually being good? This only shows how popular K-ON moe is. lol truth...though i'm a bit surprised (about the OP at least) |
 |
| Both the OP and ED are great, there's nothing to be surprise. Great for HTT!!! |

KayChan4U said: HawthorneKitty said: ...wait... the op got #1? Somebody kill me. This is truly disgusting...K-On needs to just...stop existing. Nah. It'd be relatively harmless and dare I say good if it just had the fortitude to put forth an effort, but as its fans have clearly demonstrated (and their tastes have subsequently proven with this latest news), KyoAni need not ever put forth any effort on any project ever again. They have become the self-propelled money machine that Gainax has always wished it could be. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| this is no surprise after the success of first season... but... go go maniac seriously?!! at first i thought it would be Listen to be the top... it's not that i don't like go go maniac, but i think Listen is better (of course don't say lazy is the best, i think) |
     |
| what a travesty. Oshiete A to Z is obviously superior |
 |
| Well, ED might have deserved it, but the OP? O.o |
| WTH........... How many people in MAL hate Go! Go! Maniac?????? Its is WAY better than Listen which is for me, by far the worse song in K-ON Both first and second, Can't they make something like Don't Say Lazy again?????????? |
      |
| the people complaining about Go!Go! Maniac have obviously not listened to the Character CDs. Azunyans じゃじゃ馬Way to Go for example is far worse than Maniac, which grows on you after some plays. Still, #1 for Maniac is undeserved, Listen!! is a lot better. |
| OP is rather good after listening it for the 2nd time. Carefully listen to the instruments. But I'm not saying that it's right to top 1. I really don't care who gets top 1. What's good is good, that's what matters the most for me. What I hate about the OP is the solo part. It feels separated from the whole song itself. Listen is rather epic even listening to it for the 1st time. Don't Say Lazy > Listen > Guitar ni Kubittake = Fuwa Fuwa Time = Watashi no Koi wa Hotch Kiss = GO! GO! Maniac > Cagayake Girls > others |

Before I comment on your bizarre name and horrid song choice, I would like to speak in defence of Listen!, which is actually a song based on the stylings of the pre-2000 era, when you listen to the beats and all. It's like a fusion or something. ... ... ....but both suck nevertheless. |
| wait until i watch it |
| No way Go Go Maniac sold more than Listen |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |

| Ok, but why K-on op? It's a little~ disturbing~ or with another word: sucks The ed ok though... |
 |
| I still don't understand what about the OP people don't like. It's frentic and energetic, and it's damned fun to listen to. It's impossible to listen to it without tapping your feet. It's the ED that's mediocre. But then again so was Don't Say Lazy so eh. Should have used Our Magic. |
| japanese people sure have taste... the op is soo "special" I cannot not skip it in the episode... |
| This op did not deserve top 10 let alone the very top, the op is trash sorry. |
| I find the fact that Bakuchi Dancer to be on the top 10 to be way more enjoyable. |

Agreed with this guy, ED was mediocre. it's just a generic pop-rock with simple chord progression playing over and over. OP, in the other hand, the guitar riff, bass riff, keyboard riff are catchy and memorable. The rhythm is interesting. The mix of Jazz style chord progression in this song awesome. |

Hexrapper said: It's the ED that's mediocre. But then again so was Don't Say Lazy so eh. Should have used Our Magic. You kidding me? Our Magic is by far the worst song I've heard related to K-ON! so far. It's even worse than some of the character songs (which I didn't think highly of back then either). Listen!! fits perfectly for an ED, at least that is a song I like after having heard it several times. it;'s nowhere near as good as the OP, but worse than Our Magic? No. I think Genius...! is a whole lot better than Our Magic. |

Yoko Hikasa should only sing rock and pop songs, not peppy and lively one. That's Aki Toyosaki's domain. Eitherway, K-On broke another record? SHAFT, Counter the moeblob-ness with Senjougahara fascination! |
