Also in reference to what someone said earlier their place on the chart only matter when they are selling as high as Morning Musume, because Morning Musume can be consistent and compete with the better selling group.
At Juice=Juice's current level they are doing AMAZING for it being only their second single and what matters right now is that their sales stay the same or increase. All too often a group or an artist does great at their debut and then drop in sales.
However the odds that Juice=Juice can get #1 is low unless they go against weak competition. C-ute is only just barely at the level where they can try to compete for #1.
While getting #1 may be very very important, I think for Juice=Juice's level we should focus on the sale count. Reaching 100k copies was a huge milestone for Morning Musume even though they didn't get #1 for One Two Three. Its because of that sales increase that they were even able to reach #1 3 times in a row.
They two sort of go hand in hand and arguably are of equal importance.
