SMAP's New Single Tops Music Chart

SMAP's 41st single, "Dangan Fighter," sold 110,000 copies this past week to rank #1 on the sales charts. This is their 8th consecutive chart-topping single.

Far behind SMAP, the "Kamen Rider Den-O" theme song "Climax Jump DEN-LINER form" made #2 with 66,000 copies, coming close to doubling TVXQ's "Together" (#3) and more than tripling Kazuya Yoshii's "Bakka" (#4). Rina Aiuchi also entered the top ten, ranking at #8.

On the albums chart, Kobukuro's "5296" (391,000 copies) won a close race against BUMP OF CHICKEN's "orbital period" (381,000 copies). The former is Kobukuro's 3rd consecutive #1 album, while the latter is BUMP's 3rd consecutive Top 10 album.

Gackt was the only other new entry in the top ten this week. His "0079-0088," consisting only of songs related to "Mobile Suit Gundam," came in at #6 with 41,000 in sales.
