[1/23] Morning Musume's 52nd Single "Help me!!"

[randompasserby]

If they do get that weekly #1st, which I'm pretty sure they will now, they'll definitely mention it in their blogs at the very least

Has this been mentioned before? A list of Morning Musume's singles that ranked #1st on Oricon

抱いて HOLD ON ME (98)
Loveマシーン (99)
ハッピーサマーウェディング (00)
I Wish (00)
ザ☆ピ～ス！(01)
Mr Moonlight 愛のビッグバンド (01)
そうだ！We're Alive (02)
ここにいるぜぇ！ (02)
As For One Day (03)
歩いてる (06)
しょうがない夢追い人 (09)

If nothing too surprising happened and Help Me! took that coveted Weekly #1st, Morning Musume would have a #1st ranked single in every decade since it's formation. This kind of achievement and longevity, wonder how many other group/individual in the music and entertainment industry who can say the same?
... and yet some will keep saying Morning Musume is a sinking ship lmfao

edit--- just to clarify a bit
I'm not saying the girls and their agency are infallible or the bestest thing eveer, they've made some bad choices(subjectively speaking) and there's always room for improvement. Though so far the signs looks promising

Yeah the MJ live is definitely the best TV performance of the single yet.

Haruna's parting still irks me though lol

I'm so excited for the sales to come out! Lol I guess I'm just that kind of fan

You mean for today? Well, sadly, those sales won't be released until tomorrow. Oricon sales are always one day behind. If that makes sense.

I'm still excited even if its a day behind
Personally I was excited for today's sales Im excited for tomorrow's sales. I can't wait to see our first week sales and our second week sales as well as this singles total sales!!!

We are doing a steady 5,000 a day. No drop to 3,000 yet which is awesome. Sure OTT had 10,000 a day for a few days, but we had a head start because the first day sales were higher than OTT. We may be able to get near 100k (Maybe 90+k) first week sales and definitely 100k total sales still assuming momentum keeps up!

Anyone want to update that chart? How many sales do we have so far?

Congratulations to the girls! I'm sure everyone will be overexcited today
