These are the charts that interest me more personally. Oricon is important for the media and tradition, but these are the charts that will tell us if the single will become something non-fans know.

Eighth day down to #30, after new releases…

Ninth day, all the way back up to #7...

Probably a supply issue between the two days.

Probably a supply issue between the two days.

The drop yesterday was because of the 1st day sales of the new releases. MM16's sales were most likely the same for both days. The new releases had a large sales drop on the 2nd day, similar to MM16's sales drop on it's 2nd day.

But it's going very strong so far this 2nd week. Is there still an upcoming sales deadline for an event? It would be nice to see it do good for itself for a change, a bit more mainstream sales keeping it higher in the chart for a longer period.

There weren't that many new releases. Not enough to push MM down to #30, with all other things being equal.

We'll know for sure tomorrow, if it averages out to #18 or #19. That's where they normally are in their second week.
