Singer Miliyah Kato released her album "BEST DESTINY" last week. It sold 92,000 copies to capture the top of the charts, giving Kato her first #1 album. Her previous best ranking was #2 with her first album "Rose" in 2005. Asian Kung-fu Generation had the only other new music album in the top ten, taking #2 with "Surf Bungaku Kamakura," which sold 56,000.

On the singles chart, Arashi's "Beautiful days" claimed victory with 352,000 in sales. This is their 13th consecutive #1 single and 20th overall. It also marks their fourth #1 this year, tying them with TVXQ. The last Johnny's Jimusho artist to have four chart-toppers in the same year was KinKi Kids in 1999.

Yuzu ranked in at #2 with their new song, while Kazumasa Oda and Spitz charted at #4 and #5, respectively. Three other releases made the top ten: Berryz Koubou (#6), BREAKERZ (#9), and Chatmonchy (#10).

Arashi "Beautiful days" became their 13th consecutive number 1 single with 352,000 copies sold in the first week. All 4 singles released within this year debuted at number 1. It has been 9 years since a Johnny's band had managed to achieve this (all 4 of Kinki Kids singles released in 1999 debuted at number 1)

Arashi IS the band with the most #1 chart topper beating TVXQ by the numbers of copies sold
