It’s sad seeing the highest charting singles are merely there because of their popularity at a boy-band or girl-band, whilst the songs are pretty much average.

I wonder how Ao no exorcist got to be so popular.

22, *3,517 *17,309 Hidan no Aria "Scarlet Ballet"
33, *2,320 *15,805 Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko "Os-Uchujin"
38, *1,886 **1,886 Astarotte no Omocha! "Manatsu no Photograph"
47, *1,424 *79,384 Dog Days "Scarlet Knight"

These were definitely worth the the hassle to have imported. Great singles and don't regret paying money for them though anyone could have downloaded them for free.

I thought UVERworld's - Core Pride would be in a higher rank =/

Actually UVERworld was like number 3 or 4 last week so they didn't fall that far.

It saddens me that people like ON|OFF. They are such a terrible group.
