嵐ベストがミスチル上回り初動75万枚で09年度No.1獲得

( 2009年08月25日 05時00分)

「明日の記憶/Crazy Moon～キミ・ハ・ムテキ～」、「Believe/曇りのち、快晴」で09年度シングル売上の1位、2位を独占中の嵐が、19日（水）に発売したベストアルバム『All the BEST！ 1999～2009』で初動売上75.3万枚を記録し、自己最高初動売上で8/31付週間アルバムランキングの首位を獲得した。これまで09年度1位のアルバム初動売上を記録していたMr.Children『SUPERMARKET FANTASY』（2008年12月発売）の70.8万枚をも上回り、同作は、本年度初動売上トップに躍り出た。 　Mr.Children『SUPERMARKET FANTASY』は、すでにミリオンを突破しているが、嵐も同アルバムでミリオンを達成すれば、1999年11月のデビュー以来、シングル、アルバムを通じて自身初のミリオン作品の誕生となる。 　同作は2枚組ベストアルバムで、1999年11月のデビューシングル「A・RA・SHI」から、今年5月に発売された26枚目のシングル「明日の記憶 /Crazy Moon～キミ・ハ・ムテキ～」までの全シングルを網羅。さらに表題曲と、メンバーが10周年の感謝の気持ちを込めて作詞した新曲「5×10」の計32曲 が収録されている。

This says that Arashi exceeded Mr.Children 1st week sales, which were the highest of 2009 (even though was released in 2008's december, but that counts for this 2009 ranking :D). So Arashi has the record for this year at the moment.

Final weekly Sales :::: 753,430!!!

Edit:: Translation thanks to arisan 

"With 『Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon』 and 『Believe/Kumori Nochi Kaisei』 Arashi already had a monopoly on the 1st and 2nd spots of 2009's first-week-sales ranking, and on the 19th (Wednesday) their album 『All the BEST！ 1999～2009』 sold a record 753,000 copies - also a personal best - and took the Album Ranking's top spot. Until now, the record for highest-ranking first week sale for '09 was held by Mr.Children for 『SUPERMARKET FANTASY』 （released December 2008） with over 708,000 copies sold.

『SUPERMARKET FANTASY』 already broke the million barrier, but if Arashi can achieve a million in sales, out of all the albums and singles they have released since November 1999, this will be the birth of their first million selling work.

This is a 2-disc compilation including all singles from 1999's 『A.ra.shi』 to this May's 『Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon』. Along with the headline songs, the members penned the lyrics for a new song named 「5×10」 which expresses the gratitude they feel for these past 10 years"

We should pray for the million number, it's difficult, because usually JE not good selling albums...but gambatte Arashi!!!

YAY! Shall I attempt to translate the article, although the summary pretty much says it all?

"With 『Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon』 and 『Believe/Kumori Nochi Kaisei』 Arashi already had a monopoly on the 1st and 2nd spots of 2009's first-week-sales ranking, and on the 19th (Wednesday) their album 『All the BEST！ 1999～2009』 sold a record 753,000 copies - also a personal best - and took the Album Ranking's top spot.
