Too bad, did not reach 100k for a week but still quite massive... nothing less from µ's. This will be their 7th gold disc if I am correct and hopefully Heart to Heart will be their 8th one. Anime ended 2014 but their hype shows no sign of decay. What a wondeful closure <3

The correct title would be "THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA MASTER".

μ’s and THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA is in the list. glad to see that :D

Kaioshin_Sama said:


You say this like it's unusual

Ejc said:


Replies just like Tevens', is very common here on MAL. Some have nothing better to say but to just cheer on whichever artist they were looking for in the list, rather than actually discussing the sales here.
___________________________________________

What I think is interesting to note, is that all the Osomatsu-san CDs compared to the ED with many popular male seiyuu have sold less than half. I guess this can be an indicator of just how much the non-event ticket volumes for Osomatsu-san (Vol.3 to 8) will end up selling.

Vol.1 will end up maybe 10K lower than the ED sales, which means the non-event ticket volumes will probably end up some place lower than the sales of the OP there. The drama CD 1 will end up a bit higher since some of the popular male seiyuu are still voicing on there, but not all 6 of course.

845/113365　イヤミ　←　ED
470/44140　はなまる　←　OP
1746/34643　全力　←　OP

5379/43469　ドラマ1

It was obvious what they are doing with the cast. A lot of anime are very politically cast without audition nowadays so that they can use specific people for event tickets. Unfortunately this means a lot of shows are getting stuffed with the same casts nowadays in terms of more commercial anime and I get to hear old favorites less and less, even ones that weren't even all that scarce so much as a few years ago. It's incredibly noticeable with male seiyuu especially nut lately I've just wondered if every single popular show has to have Maaya Uchida or Sumire Uesaka and what exactly they bring to most roles in particular besides a pretty face to market. It just sucks that things have gotten this commercial and samey and that producers are so greedy now that they force certain seiyuu on shows over and over just to make a few thousand extra disc sales that aren't even going to carry beyond the first volume or two. That's why it was kind of neat that Macross frontier held auditions and didn't overload too much on the same old people at least as far as I'm aware. They could have easily just loaded up on Uchida, Muse, idolmaster seiyuu and the lIke right out of the gate

Why is some of the numbers (Like the positions) are missing?

Ejc said:


The list here only contains anime-related CDs, seiyuu-related CDs (as they actually voice all the characters!) and also CDs by artists that have done at least one tie-in. However, some the particular CDs in the list may not be related to anime, such as that Arashi CD at #3, that AKB48 CD at #24, etc.

MAL just chose to do a blanket system, rather than doing a complete filter of CDs not related to anime or seiyuu. There is a music BD/DVD/CD sales thread on the Japanese 2ch BBS board that does proper filtering of the weekly CD lists.
