Johnny's act Hey! Say! JUMP captured their third #1 ranking this week, with their single "Your Seed" selling more than 160,000 copies. The song is being used to promote the Japanese version of the hit animated movie "Kung Fu Panda," which opened this past weekend.

aiko's "KissHug" came in second at 75,000 in sales. Little competition allowed the "Gake no Ue no Ponyo" theme song to climb up to #3, ahead of the newest releases by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS (#4), Megumi Hayashibara (#6), and Park Yong-ha (#7).

Meanwhile, EXILE dominated the albums chart, racking up more than 400,000 in sales for "EXILE ENTERTAINMENT BEST." The closest competition was GReeeeN's latest album at under 40,000 copies, though it has already been out for over a month.

The only other new albums in the top 10 were all soundtracks: "Persona 4 Original Soundtrack" (#5), "Naruto SUPER HITS 2006-2008" (#7), and "THE IDOLM@STER Vacation for you!" (#10).
