Precious stayed in the singles Top 10 this week, adding another 25.105 sales, bringing the total sales for four weeks to 142.597. In addition, Precious is the only 4 week old single in this week’s top ten, placing above last week’s Nr. 1, Arashi’s Kitto Daijoubu single, which came in on 10th place this week. On today’s daily single, Precious came in on the tenth place.
After a great first week of sales and an even better second week, Precious once again did great it the charts. Precious came in on the 4th place after Arashi, Namie Amuro and UVERworld, and above last week’s Nr.1 ORANGE RANGE. The third week’s sales of 35.248 bring the total Precious sales to 117.492. With such great success, an album will hopefully be announced in the near future.
Last week we saw how Yuna’s “Precious” single took third place with 38.583 sales, already topping the sales of her second single “Faith/Pureyes”. The second week for “Precious” however outshines even the first week of sales. Last week Yuna’s single managed to sell 43.661 copies, exactly 5078 copies more than its debut week, bringing the total sales to 82.244. Moreoever, today’s daily charts show that after the arrival of the new singles by Arashi, Namie Amuro and UVERworld, Precious is still holding on to 4th place, above this week’s Nr.1, ORANGE RANGE”s Champione single which landed the fifth place. Given these amazing second week sales, we can expect to see “Precious” in the top 30 singles for a good while to come.
Yuna Ito’s third single hit the stores last wednesday while “LIMIT OF LOVE Umizaru” hit theaters on friday. The single came in on the charts on 2nd position, and after a week’s sales the single managed to grab hold of third place, finishing below Ketsumeishi’s Tabiuto and SMAP’s Dear WOMAN singles. The total sales for Precious, 38.583, are an improvement from her second single “Faith/Pureyes” and once again prove that Yuna’s popularity extends beyond the influence of the NANA hype.
Moreover, the release of the single also meant a jump in sales for both ENDLESS STORY and Faith. ENDLESS STORY jumped from the 110th position to the 65th (1.339 Weekly Sales), and Faith jumped from the 118th position to the 83rd (1.061 Weekly sales).
With three successful singles under her belt, Yuna’s future does indeed look bright. Rumors of her first album being released in June 2006 have not yet been confirmed, but hopefully we’ll learn more about that soon.
