Tokyograph News · 10-01-2008, 06:44 AM

Last week, SMAP released their latest album "super.modern.artistic.performance," and as expected, it topped the charts at 214,000 in sales. This finally pushed their career album sales past the 10 million mark, becoming only the second vocal group to achieve that feat, after CHAGE and ASKA did it in 1993.

DOHZI-T sold 63,000 copies of his new album to land at #3. A soundtrack for the anime series "D.Gray-man" made #5, while rock band Plastic Tree found their way into the #9 spot.

"The Birthday ~Ti Amo~," a new song by EXILE, came in at #1 on the singles chart, moving more than 171,000 copies. Ayaka and Kobukuro sold nearly half that amount with their second collaborative single, while Morning Musume's cover of "Pepper Keibu" ranked in at #3.

The other new top ten releases were BREAKERZ (#6), Miliyah Kato (#9), and seiyu Shin-ichiro Miki (#10).
